Hatvan, Transport hub in Heves County, Hungary
The town covers 352 square kilometers of land with a population of 20,228 residents, making it the third largest settlement in Heves County.
During the 16th century, local leaders decided to burn their fortifications to prevent Ottoman forces from capturing them, yet the town still fell under Turkish control.
The settlement maintains strong international connections through sister city partnerships with multiple European nations, including Italy, Ukraine, Lithuania, and Finland.
The town functions as an administrative center for the Hatvan District, which encompasses 13 additional municipalities across the western region of Heves County.
The name Hatvan stems from the Pecheneg word 'chatwan' or 'chatman', referring to a small tribe or group division during early Hungarian settlements.
