Korlát

Korlát (Slovak: Korlátovce) formerly Korlátfalva is a village in Gönc District of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County. Its population in 2024 was 304.

It is located approximately 55 kilometers northeast of Miskolc by road. The immediately neighboring settlements are: Fony from the northeast, Arka from the south, and Vizsoly from the west.

Road 3715 passes through the village. You can also reach the village by train. It has a train station with Vizsoly called Korlát-Vizsoly,^[1] though the station is located in Vizsoly.

The name was first mentioned in documents in 1332, as Corardi, Cunradi, Conradi, or Corradi. It likely comes from Arkai Corladus, who appeared in records in 1267. The settlement was already listed in the papal tax register that year, meaning it had a church then. The first known owners were the Lánczi family. The Turks destroyed it in 1640, and it stayed empty for nearly a century, being repopulated in the mid-1700s.

In 2022, 97.6% of the population identified themselves as Hungarian, 9.7% as Roma, 0.7% as Slovak, 0.3% as German, 2.1% as other non-domestic nationality (2.1% did not declare; due to dual identities, the total may be greater than 100%). According to their religion, 32.6% were Roman Catholic, 12.2% as Reformed, 2.8% as Greek Catholic, 1% as other Christian, 0.3% as Evangelical, 2.8% as non-denominational (47.9% did not respond).^[2]
