is a village in Fejér county, Hungary, about 10 km from Lake Velencei, which is more or less easy to reach on road and on railway (Pusztaszabolcs-Székesfehérvár line).
The settlement is first mentioned in writing in 1239, when villa Nowa (Nova) belonged to the Vértes estates of the Csák clan.
The distinctive anterior constituent of the settlement's name, the word 'Zichy' is a reference to the one-time landowners of the area, the members of the Zichy family.
The first written mention of the settlement's name goes back to 1239, when Villa Nowa (Nova) was part of the Vértes estate of the Csák clan.
The members of the Zichy family became the local landowners as early as the period of the Turkish Conquest.
In the middle of the 19th century Újfalupuszta (called Zichyújfalu from 1898 onward) was characterised by feudal backwardness.
The inhabitants of Újfalu were also dependent on the estate for their living and they were mostly household servants and daily workers.
The landowner also lived at Seregélyes, and he was also the owner of several other farmsteads in the vicinity of the market town.
The members of the Zichy family achieved outstanding economic results at the end of the 19th century.
Their income on the other hand did not contribute to the social and economic rise of the estate workers.
The school was run by the Roman Catholics, but the children of Calvinist families were also allowed to attend it.
In the 1870s János Zichy donated an annual sum of 400 forints for school maintenance.
In the last war month, in October 1918 there was a good deal of tension felt among the inhabitants of the settlement.
In the spring of 1946 the idea of becoming independent was raised in the village, but it was opposed by the authorities at Seregélyes as well as by the county administrators.
Permanent workers were settled down in the village, and, as a result, the number of local inhabitants began to grow.
Due to the rise of population figures local affairs could no longer be directed from Seregélyes, another settlement of the area.
The number of inhabitants was continuously on the rise and because of this the question of administrative changes had to be raised in this period.
The road leading from the railway station to Csirib major was paved and a regular bus service was operated between Újfalu and Gárdony, the administrative centre.
In the period after the changing of the political system this tendency slowed down, since it became increasingly difficult for people to find jobs in the industrial plants nearby.
Transport was also increasingly problematic and the inhabitants had difficulties in reaching the administrative centre or the mayor's office.
It was called the Little Castle, which became the farm manager's apartment after the construction of a large mansion.
