The city of Nagymegyer was named after the conquering Hungarian tribe, Megyer, whose leader was Prince Árpád.

The ceremonial unveiling of the statue took place on October 25, 2008, on the occasion of the meeting of the Megyer settlements of the Carpathian Basin. The wooden statue was made by Géza Nagy from Csicsó and Attila Farkas from Budapest.
