Our History

The history

of our village

1844

Our village was founded by tobacco farmers, when they first arrived here in 1844 from Nagylak, Pitvaros and from other Northern Hungarian counties.

1898

First our village was called Alberti then Kispitvaros (Little Pitvaros). It has been called Csanadalberti since 1898.

1919

In the 19th century the majority of the population was Lutheran Slovakian people. After the World War I between 1919 and 1920 our village was under Romanian occupation for about one year. By the 1/3 of the 20th century the population has doubled, but the percentage of the different nationalities hasn’t changed.

1927

Our kindergarten school was opened in 1927. In the same year the Nagyatádi agrarian reform was finished and one year later 33 new families moved into their newly allocated and built homes. Mortgages was provided by The Village Building Society.

1946

In 1946 the percentage of the nationalities was changed drastically: after the Czechoslovakian–Hungarian population exchange, those Hungarians who were deported from Slovakia have formed the majority of the population. In 1950 Csanad County was broken-up and our village was attached to Csongrad County. We lost our self-dependence and until 1990 we were part of the Common Village Council of Pitvaros.

1960

The Kossuth Collective Farm was founded in 1960 and it was united with the Pitvaros Liberation Collective Farm in 1974. Until today this is the biggest agricultural company in our village.

1990

In 1990 the people of Csanádalberti elected their first council.

Our crest

Renaissance shield erect, party per fess, base curved to a point. From base vert a seven-leaved plant is issuing, or. Chief azure.

Base vert represents a triple negative form, symbolical of life on the Great Plain. The blue field above is a reminder of the blue skies of the Great Plain region, offering observers a wide horizon to look at. The upgrowing plant, striving toward the sky is an emblem of agriculture in general and of tobacco growing in particular. The seven golden leaves are traditional charges and they are reminders of the ancient motif of the Tree of Life. Also, they are a concrete reference to the tobacco plant itself. This plant has always been the life giving force and the eternal hope for local inhabitants at Csanádalberti. In addition, this charge also appears on old print seals.
