The entire history of the town is intertwined with one of the most important Hungarian aristocratic families, the Károlyi family. The town was the centre of their ancestral estate. The family is descended from the ancient Hungarian Kaplon clan, who were the descendants of Kond, the leader of one of the seven Hungarians tribes. The family takes its name from this settlement. During the period of the Turkish wars, the manor house was turned into a castle, which eventually served its purpose well. After the threat of war had passed, the family had it converted into a baroque manor house at the end of the 18th century, and it took on its present form, reminiscent of the Loire chateaux, at the end of the 19th century thanks to Count Károlyi István and the architect Ybl Miklós. The town itself also owes its development to the Károlyi family. In 1780 it became the seat of Szatmár County. The Károlyis also settled the Piarists in the town and built a church dedicated to the founder of the order, Saint Joseph Calasanz. The religious order ran a grammar school in the town. Until the Trianon Dictate after the First World War, the town was almost entirely Hungarian, and it retained its Hungarian majority until today. The manor house has been restored as a museum.

The Count attributed the birth of his first child to the intercession of St. Joseph Calasanz, and the newborn was given the name Joseph and a new church was built in honour of St. Joseph Calasanz. It was consecrated by Bishop Count Esterh\u00e1zy K\u00e1roly. The paintings of its main altar and six side altars were painted in 1778-1780 by Johann Ignaz Cimbal, one of the outstanding figures of Baroque painting.
