due to the rise of population figures local affairs could no longer be directed from seregélyes, another settlement of the area. the establishment of a local office of administration did not improve the situation either. in the mid-1950s local economy was so strong that it could take its share from public duties. the problems of education were also about to be solved a new school building was erected in the village from 1957–59 and it has been functioning as a school up to now. the electrification of the settlement failed in 1948, but in 1956 újfalu was linked to the national network.
