The first written mention of the village dates back to 1344 when a document refers to it as "villa Hiydwegh," indicating the name Hídvég.

[1] Before the 20th century, the area had several settlements, but in 1922, it adopted its current boundaries and name through the consolidation of Városhidvég, Faluhidvég, and Szabadhegy.

In the center of the coat of arms is an image of a fortress, symbolizing the palisade and later earthworks that protected the Sió line during the Rákóczi War of Independence.

The intertwined formation of three heart motifs represents the amalgamation of the three villages (Faluhídvég-Városhídvég-Szabadhegy) in 1922, marking the beginning of the name Szabadhídvég.

The green color symbolizes the agricultural nature of the village, while the white represents moral purity.
