The village name, initially recorded in a donation letter on 20 November 1659, mentioned owners like Bossányi Gábor, Eölbey Márton, and Szeghy Mihály. Changing ownership over time, the village played a minor role in the 1848/49 revolution, providing provisions to the Hungarian camp. Population growth began in the 1800s, reaching 1,111 residents in 1910. During World War I, 215 men were called for military service, with eight casualties. In World War II, many young men from the village fought on the front, but fortunately, no battles occurred within the village. Becoming an independent municipality in 1926, Szolgaegyháza acquired its current administrative boundaries in 1929. In 1948, it was renamed Szabadegyháza through a decree by the Ministry of Interior (181.321/1948), effective from 1 June 1948.
