History
There are two known origins of its name: Because for a long time it was the property of a Dobó, many of whom derive their name from here. Nagydobron is surrounded by oak forests, which the Russian failed to do, and others derive their name from it. history The area around Nagydobrony was probably a lacquer in the Bronze and Iron Ages. They found the best first ancient find, one of the oldest may be three thousand years old. Bronze hoops, buttons, headbands, glass beads, and a spearhead and a huge specification from underground. The oral tradition did not preserve the sentence referring to the origin of the village. The locals heard so much from their ancestors in the distance that the first inhabitants settled in a part called Kucsárka, which was protected from attackers in a semicircle of a Hatrác stream. It is not known when this happened and who the first settlers were. U.S. thinkers believe that a settlement of Bulgarian Pecheneg origin may be of a delivery ballast or if it comes from a post-conquest time. A further overview of the Slavic sound of the name of the village and the influx of Bulgarians between 10 and 1095 lies from the Tisza - Ung - Latorca region. The village was probably destroyed during the Tartar invasion, although there are no exact data on this. According to the works of Tivadar Lehoczky, the territory of a Tartar and later Bereg county was completely destroyed. History writes this when Csépánfölde, known as Csépántelek, about Kisdobrony: "... his former position called Csépán lies between Dobrony and Ignécz, a one destroyed in 1241 by the Tartars." It is probable that the fate of the Great Drum was uniform with that of the surrounding villages. So much can be said for sure from the description of Tivadar Lehoczky that Nagydobrony should have already existed at the time of the Tartar invasion. The first contemporary written reminder from 1248 is in a document in the archives of a Leszesz convent called Dobron, which György Györffy questions its origin. Then in 1270 there is a reference to the village with a description of the limit value: “Chepanteluk... among others Dobron... et Ogteluk”, this document is kept by the Hungarian National Archives.
