Tanulmányok - Mónus Imre: Folyás története
292 Mőnus Imre: Folyás története faluból, talán az М3 autópálya közelsége néhány év alatt ezt is meghozza. Ennek hiányában az iparban foglalkoztatottak dolgozni Polgárra és Tiszaújvárosba járnak. A község vezetése önálló önkormányzati épületet vásárolt, és annak felújításán fáradozik, hogy kiköltözzön az iskolából, mert abban bízik, hogy Folyáson az iskolai oktatás újra megindul, és az iskola udvara ismét gyermekzsivajtól lesz hangos. The History of Folyás Imre Mónus The settlement called Folyás is located south of Polgár, on the northwestern border of Hajdú-Bihar County. It became an independent settlement in 1992. Previously, it used to belong to Polgár and its fate had always been closely related to that of Polgár. It was named after the brook called Folyás, and it was also known for some time as Folyás-farmstead. Its population underwent several changes during the course of the centuries, while the area was either owned by the Chapter in Eger or the Heyducks. In 1999, the population of Folyás was 442 people. The surface area in and around the settlement is a monotonous, flat stretch of alluvial clayey soil. The regulation of the river Tisza started in the middle of the 19th century significantly transformed the landscape, yet, the proximity of the Tisza, with its fish-ponds and other bodies of water continues to be an influential factor to this very day. Folyás-farmstead used to be a homestead belonging to a land- owner, where the inhabitants made a living mostly on animal husbandry and agricultural activities. The small settlement in the 17lh century, just like Polgár, belonged to the area of Hajdúság, but after the Turks had been driven away, the Chapter in Eger demanded that it was returned back into their property, and it owned it again as of 1717. Shortly, its inhabitants, formerly made up of Heyducks, abandoned it, or were also driven away. The Chapter settled it with Catholic people transported from its own property at the foothills of the Mátra Mountains, who continue to live here to this very day.
