Mezőtúr is a town in Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok county in Hungary, located southeast from Budapest and 88 miles away by rail.

Large herds of cattle are reared on the communal lands, which are productive also of wheat, rapeseed and maize.

Later it was named Mezőtúr (mező means field, referring to the good soil of the Great Plain.)

Mezőtúr was a royal estate until 1378, later it had various owners, and under King Matthias the town was divided into two parts because it was granted to two different people.

The city was damaged; the railway bridge over the Hortobágy-Berettyó river was destroyed, requiring the current one to be built after the war.

There used to be rail service to the nearby town of Túrkeve, but this railroad was closed in the 1960s due to low ridership, and the tracks later removed.
