Debrecen: miscellanea

 Debrecen, Hungary's second-largest city, has been synonymous with wealth and conservatism since the 16th century.  The area around Debrecen had been settled since the earliest times, and when the Magyars arrived late in the 9th century they found a colony of Slovaks here who called the region Dobre Zliem for its 'good soil.'  Debrecen's wealth, based on salt, the fur trade and cattle-raising, grew steadily through the Middle Ages and increased during the Turkish occupation; the city kept all sides happy by paying tribute to the Ottomans, the Habsburgs and Transylvanian princes at the same time.  Debrecen played a pivotal role in the 1848-49 War of Independence and, late in the 19th century and early in the 20th, it experienced a major building boom.  Today it is the capital of Hajdu-Bihar County and an important university city. (Steve Fallon & Neal Bedford, Hungary 273)
