[edit] History

Borsodnádasd was first mentioned in documents in 1210, as Nádasd. In 1332 it already had a church. In the Middle Ages it belonged to the estate of the Nádasdy family.

Industrialization began with the opening of the coal mines in the 19th century.

In 1903 the village was renamed to Borsodnádasd.
