History
Its first mention was from 1275 under the name of Ozalou. Already in the Middle Ages, there were significant wine production, and its horses and beekeepers were renowned in the area. In 1553, Ferdinand I plundered it as part of the Little War in Hungary. Throughout history, it has alternatively been part of the counties of Borsod or Abaúj until the two merged after World War II to form Borsod-Abauj-Zemplen. By the second half of the 16th century, there were schools for both boys and girls in Aszaló.
In 1824 and 1854 fires destroyed the majority of the village, but it was rebuilt both times.
In the 19th century a small Jewish community lived in the village,[3] many of whose members were murdered in the Holocaust.[4]
In the 1960s an air defense artillery missile base and a military base were built in the area, but they were closed in the 1980s.
In the 2011 census 80% of the population were Hungarian and 20% were of Romani origin.[5]
