Hajdúböszörmény is the largest of the so-called "Hajdú towns" and is renowned for its unique circular settlement layout. The town's history is deeply connected to István Bocskai, who granted privileges and land to the Hajdú warriors in 1609, leading to the creation of these fortified peasant settlements. The town center features two concentric ring roads and radial streets, representing a prime example of 17th-century Hungarian urban planning. The Hajdúsági Museum, housed in the former Hajdú District Hall, preserves the cultural and military traditions of this ethnic group. The Reformed church in the center, built on 15th-century Gothic foundations, is a significant architectural monument. The town's economy is traditionally based on agriculture, with the region's fertile soil allowing for high productivity. In recent years, the Bocskai Thermal Spa has also become a major attraction, offering modern wellness services to visitors.
