Szandaszőlős was a part of Szolnok, an independent village between 1950 and 1963, before and after that it was part of Szolnok.

Location
The settlement is located in the Trans-Tisza region, at an average altitude of 85-95 m above sea level. The area called Szandai meadow was the floodplain of the Tisza, its height above sea level is 85 m, it has a foundry. The settlement itself is approx. It is 10 m higher, in some places covered with sand. The maximum thickness of the sand is reached slightly southeast of the settlement, where it was also mined. It is bordered by two water surfaces: the Tisza meandering to the west and the Alcsi-Holt-Tisza standingwater to the north.

Geological structure
The highest point of Szolnok, the Pál Beke mound (101.3 m) is located on the outskirts of Szandaszőlős. According to the deep wells, the basin is located below Szandaszőlős at a depth of approximately 2 km. The crust under the area comes from the European plaque, crystalline, presumably pre-Cambrian, about a billion years old. Its oldest rocks are those of similar age in the Mecsek, but related to the rocks on the surface. As a reminder of later ages, we also find Triassic-Jurassic limestones in the depths in the north-east-southwest direction. Crete and the older Tertiary period left behind volcanic remnants and fliss sediments. In the older Tertiary period, fliss sediments were formed again in Szandaszőlős, and then in the younger part of the Tertiary period thick volcanic rock layers were formed. At the end of the Tertiary period, the recharging Pannonian Sea left hundreds of meters thick sediments behind. Due to their plastic nature, these sediments tend to tip over the topography of the older basin floor. Subsequently, river, floodplain and lake sediments were deposited. The thickness of the loess is not more than one or two meters. Finally, the wind blew river sand, which can be found on the surface at or near the surface at a thickness of several meters at most points in Szandaszőlős.

The boreholes found artesian water at a depth of about 900 m, for the utilization of which a well is also operating in Szandaszőlős. The presence of natural gas has also been detected in the rock layers below Szandaszőlős.

Climate
Its climate is continental temperate, hot, dry summers are usually followed by cold winters. In this landscape, the number of hours of sunshine is very high, but the average amount of precipitation is only 480-500 mm. The predominant wind direction is north-west for most of the year, and north-east in winter. In terms of plant geography, it belongs to the wooded steppe belt, which is crossed by the Tisza floodplain areas.

History
The area of Szandaszőlős has been inhabited since the Neolithic Age: archaeological excavations reveal Neolithic and Bronze Age settlements, Stone Age and Bronze Age graves, pits from the Sarmatian, The Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian basin, Gepid, 10-11. century cemeteries were found. Several Scythian sites were found in Szolnok and the surrounding area, and a mug was found during excavations in Szandaszőlős. The Scythians were replaced by the Celts, after which the Sarmatians of Iranian origin settled around the city. The Sarmatian population probably had a relationship with the Roman Empire, either in war or in trade, as there are many Roman coins, weapons, jewelry and ceramics among the excavated finds. During the migration period, the Sarmatians living around Szolnok were brought under their rule by the Gepids. In 1952, during the expansion of the military airport, 223 Sarmatian and Gepid graves were excavated, from which very rich finds were discovered: gilded and decorated fibulae, iron weapons, bone combs, belt buckles and dishes.



The Hungarian village of Szandaszőlős from the Árpád era. Its first written mention comes from 1075 (Zunde), in 1470 it was called Zonda. It was completely depopulated during the Turkish subjugation. In 1775, according to the contract between Count Károly Keglevich and the market town of Szolnok, 210 farmers from Szolnok established a vineyard in Szandaszőlős. The elementary school, which is still operating today, was founded in 1891. The first cultural monument of the settlement, the statue of Saint Orbán (geographical position: N. 47° 07′ 29″, E. 20° 12′ 47″) was created in 1902. In 1950, it was formed from parts of Szolnok into an independent village, then in 1968 it became part of the city again.

The construction of the military airport began in 1939, as a result of which three aviation formations were transferred here in the fall of 1940. Next to the military airport, the Hungarian Aviation History Museum (47° 07′ 52″ N, 20° 13′ 12″ E) has a rich collection of military and passenger aircraft.

Public Life
Szandaszőlős has a gas station, pharmacies, a kindergarten, two kindergartens and a school, as well as an artesian well. The primary school and the community center are important points of Szandaszőlős' public life. Every year, the former organizes its program called Autumn Joy, which moves a large part of the population of the district. The Szandaszőlősért Egyesület operates in the cultural center, and in cooperation with it, realizes many recurring or unique events. Starting from October 2016, a farmer's market is held twice a month organized by the National Chamber of Agriculture.

Hungarian Aviation History Museum and Exhibition - Szolnok, Szandaszőlős
This is the largest collection of military aircraft in our country, where civilian, police, water service and sports aircraft can also be viewed. Sitting in some of the planes, you can imagine what it was like to be a pilot or a passenger in the past. Soviet MiG fighter jets, Il-18 and Tu-134 passenger planes are real sights. The helicopters, jet and propeller, fighter and strike, training and exercise machines that were in service in Hungary are lined up here, as well as the Starfighter and Hunter that fought on the "other side". The arsenal is enriched by an Il-2 fighter plane that crashed into Lake Balaton during the Second World War. In addition to the history of aviation, astronaut relics, aircraft engines, engines and other parts can be seen in the indoor part of the exhibition. The collection, considered a curiosity in Central Europe, was included in the Aircraft Museums of the World catalog in 1996.

Transportation
By car, No. 442 it can be reached from the main road (main road no. 4).
