Békésszentandrás is a village in Békés county, in the Southern Great Plain region of south-east Hungary.

Békésszentandrás, the western gate of Békés county, lies along the left bank of the Hármas-Körös River.

Under the leadership of the Dánfy family the estate fell into pieces, lost its integrated management and market town rights.

The four parts of the village were shared by Miklós Nagyfalusi Toldy, Anna Dánfy, the Paksy and Patócsi family.

György Száraz leased the estate to the county treasurer István Tolna, who was very cruel to the residents.

In the 1740s, the population of the village continued to grow after new groups arrived: Catholics from the upper Tisza and Lutheran Slovaks from Hont and Nógrád counties.

Both World Wars had many casualties in the village, a Heroes' Statue reminds them which was inaugurated by József Archduke in 1927.

One of the important results of the inter-war period is the introduction of carpet making which made Békésszentandrás world-famous.

In the early 1960s a municipal water network was built up and pavement construction was started in the village so the living conditions improved.

Since 1990 the village has been supplied with public utilities like the sewerage-, gas pipeline-, IT network and drainage ditch system.

After the realisation of the future plans there's a realistic chance to establish a small town from the village.
