This article is about a town in Romania. For the village in Hungary that split from this town and that is called Nădlac in Romanian, see Nagylak.
Nădlac (Romanian pronunciation:[nədˈlak]; Slovak: Nadlak; Hungarian: Nagylak) is a town in Arad County, western Romania. A former part of the town lies across the border with Hungary; this village is called Nagylak. An international border town, Nădlac is the main border crossing into western Romania from Hungary. It is also a centre of the LutheranSlovak community in Romania. Situated in the western part of Arad County, 50 km (31 mi) from the county capital, at the western border of Romania, Nădlac is the main entrance gate from Western Europe.
Nădlac was first mentioned in documents in 1313 when it was known as Noglog. The town's name in Hungarian language means "big place". The Romanian and Slovak names derive from that.
At the 2021 census, Nădlac had a population of 6,713.[3] At the 2011 census, the town had 7,398 inhabitants; of those, 47.26% were Romanians, 43.85% Slovaks, 5.1% Romani, 2.37% Hungarians, and 1.75% other or undeclared nationalities.
Historyedit
Archaeological excavations have brought to the surface traces of existence of the Dacian-Romans. During medieval times, Nădlac, a castle with wooden and soil fortification, was invaded by the Mongols, was held by János Hunyadi, and was donated to the commanding officers Gyorgy Istvan and Dmitar Jakšić who laid the foundation of a new fortification. It was also ravaged several times by the Ottoman Turks, and was razed to the ground by the rebels led by György Dózsa. It was, however, rebuilt every time. In 1685 the town was conquered by the Austrian royal army and was integrated in the border disposition of the Mureș valley.
One of the most important moments in the history of Nădlac took place in the early 19th century, when the colonization process of the Slovaks started. This nationality has contributed to a great extent to the development of the settlement.

Among the town's tourist sights are the Saint Nicholas Church and the Slovak Lutheran church. There is also a park called "Lunca Mureșului."
