In this paper I am trying to present the development of the peripheral areas of Hajdúnánás, with a special attention on Újházhely, which is located on the Northern part of the town. Furthermore, the present study applies and refers to previous works focusing on this area, as well as other sources, such as ethnographic collections, maps of military surveys, manuscript maps, historical sources, aerial photographs, and interviews. One topic might still be questionable, though: whether these areas of the town could be peripheral in other aspects in that specific time interval or not, for instance, in economic or in authority aspects. This is a topic that we should focus on in further research.
