NAGY-KÖRÖS(i.e., Great Korös) is a town, or rather an overgrown village, in Hungary, in the district and 50 miles to the south-west of Pesth. It lies in the midst of a sandy plain, and is a station on the railway from Pesth to Temesvar. In 1880 it contained 22,769 inhabitants, chiefly Protestants, who are engaged in wine-culture and the rearing of cattle and sheep. Its gymnasium is esteemed one of the best schools in Hungary.
