Later it was named Mez\u0151t\u00far (mez\u0151 means field, referring to the good soil of the Great Plain.) The town was first mentioned under King Andrew II (1205\u20131235) as villa Tur. The shortest road between Buda and Transylvania led through Mez\u0151t\u00far, which was the only town in the area having a ferry. Because of this advantage the town prospered and King Louis the Great made it a market town. In the 15th century it held famous markets, and its importance grew.Mez\u0151t\u00far was a royal estate until 1378, later it had various owners, and under King Matthias the town was divided into two parts because it was granted to two different people.During the Ottoman occupation of Hungary, Mez\u0151t\u00far fell under Ottoman rule in 1562 and was freed in 1692. After the expelling of the Ottomans and during the revolution led by Prince R\u00e1k\u00f3czi the citizens had to leave the town twice (1692\u20131699 and 1705\u20131710).In the 18th century the town began to prosper again, mainly as an agricultural town.After the Ottoman occupation until 1918, Mez\u0151t\u00far was part of the Austrian monarchy, province of Hungary;[1] (in Transleithania after the compromise of 1867) in the  Kingdom of Hungary.Following World War One and the instability in Hungary, it became a part of the Hungarian Kingdom. During World War Two, Mez\u0151t\u00far was occupied by the German Army before being fought over by the Soviets, who captured Mez\u0151t\u00far in late 1944. The city was damaged; the railway bridge over the Hortob\u00e1gy-Beretty\u00f3 river was destroyed, requiring the current one to be built after the war.[citation needed] A monument was erected near the city hall to commemorate the fighting during the war.Starting in the 16th century and going throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Mezotur produced pottery. The pottery industry slowed in the 1950s, but still is a cultural landmark.[2][3]The post-office was opened in 1853.Mez\u0151t\u00far is a large railroad hub, serviced by M\u00c1V. The railway station and the nearby storage shed are very old. There are five passenger tracks with three platforms, with an additional three freight tracks and a disused storage track. There are daily trains between Mez\u0151t\u00far and Szolnok, Mez\u0151t\u00far and Orosh\u00e1za-Mez\u0151hegyes, as well as being on the important Budapest Keleti-Szolnok-B\u00e9k\u00e9scsaba-L\u0151k\u00f6sh\u00e1za railway line with daily trains to Budapest, among others. There used to be rail service to the nearby town of T\u00farkeve, but this railroad was closed in the 1960s due to low ridership, and the tracks later removed.
