In 1938, traces of the first human settlement were found during archeological excavations in the Inacs Mound, next to the main road 42, at the western edge of Földes's boundary.

It was a Neolithic site where the remains of their pit houses and burned walls of their wattle-and-daub were found with the tools of a copper-age man.

[3] The first written mention of Földes – which was debated for a long time[4] – was in the Váradi Regestrum in 1215: messenger Gyuro, the son of Moysa from Heldus (Földes) village (pristaldum nomine Gyuro, filium Moysa de villa Heldus), proceeded in an affair of peoples from Bajom and Rábé.

[5] Rogerius a canon of Várad wrote about this period, telling what devastation the Southern Tatar army had done under Kadan's leadership in Bihar County.

In 1459 Adorján Földesi (Adriani litterati) appeared in the suit of an estate who bore a name scrivener which supposes higher education.

He had to cite into law with three times shoutings István Szakolyi, who had estates among other villages also in Hosszúmacs (today a part of Debrecen).

The Bajons and Sztáris after they had got their domains did not stay in the village, procurators handled their lands from the families of Harangi and Simai.

On May 7, 1537, King János Szapolyai had issued a decree, confirmed with it the organized community of Földes nobles against Szabolcs County.

[9] This diploma was good for them as proof in later times, in the protection of local authority over the noble privileges, against Szabolcs County and other powerful warlords.

Földes together with Szabolcs County at that time were a collision place among the Royal Hungary, Principality of Transylvania and the Turkish Empire.

On 3 July 1624 the Prince of Transylvania Gábor Bethlen commanded the Estates of Bihar County to produce under oath a truthful testimony records of the nobles' privileges of Földes and Sáp.

On September 23, 1645, a Letter of Defense was gained from György I Rákóczi against of wandering soldiers, including the recognition and strengthening of their noble privileges too.

After György II Rákóczi's campaign to Poland, the Turkish launched a revenge offensive in early April 1660.

Szejdi Ahmed the pasha of Buda destroyed the areas of Hajdúk (peasant freelance soldiers) in Szabolcs and Bihar Counties.

This affected Földes mainly after the fall of Várad,[16] when the villages of Szabolcs and Bihar Counties were distributed as tributes among the fighting Turks.

The heavy taxes and cruel treatments had forced the population to flee to the neighboring counties, from where they came back to their own lands after the Peace of Vasvár (1664).

The attacks of Turkish, Tartaric, Kuruc (Hungarian rebel), Labanc (German loyal to emperor) troops had forced the people living here to escape again and again, but their own landownership always brought them back.

The first thing of the villagers after the Turkish times was to procure another privilege letter from the King of Hungary Lipót I (Habsburg) what he gave out for them on 2 October 1692 in the castle of Ebersdorf.

Prince Ferenc II Rákóczi gave them two confirmatory diplomas: one in Tokaj on 28 October 1703 and the other in Eperjes on 5 March 1708.

The parties had been tired of the fighting, three years later on 15 April 1779 without any external pressure, they jointly created the Regulation of Földes village[18] for the exercise of the local laws, which was in effect until 1848.

In 1904, first in the northern part of the Földes border a canal was made in the bed of the Hamvas rill, together with the surrounding area water management.

Another memorial was erected by the village in 1990 for the remembrance of the 352 heroic dead soldiers and residential victims of the World War II.

He revealed in the Kis-Andaháza meadow, adjacent to Földes's border, the foundation of Andaháza's temple which had been built at the beginning of the 12th century.

The National Committee commenced its operation on January 15, 1945, assumed the organization of the supply of the population, the launch of work in all areas, and the inter-party negotiations.

At that time the Jewish community's 750 square fathoms cemetery was on the part of the border called Sziget, where it is still today.

There were regular church worships in the temple, there was a permanent kosher butcher, ritual bath, Talmud Torah teaching.

In 1958 the temple was broken down, and the purchase price of the demolition material was written, according to the disposition of the MIOK,[38] to the account of the expired community.

Today, some pictures, commemorative writings in local history books, the cemetery in the old Sziget area and the names on the memorials in the Templomkert (Temple Garden) are the reminders of the former Jewish population of Földes.
