History

[edit]

According to László Szita the settlement was completely Hungarian in the 18th century.[2]

Demographics

[edit]

In 2001 there were 455 inhabitants in Kisbajom. At the end of the nineteenth century (1870) Kisbajom counted 957 people. Slowly the numbers decreased to 891 in 1959 and 563 in 1980. In the beginning of the nineties there were 494 registered inhabitants. 92 of those were registered as ethnic Roma. In 1992 37% of the people were employed, 34% unemployed and 30% child or pensioned. (source: Kisbajom falufelmérés, PMMF urbanisztika szak, 1993)

Since 2010 the municipality, with assistance from European funds, has built a holiday house, camping facilities, a large old style oven, bought bikes and horse carriages. These facilities are all localized around the old clergy house and partially inside a small open air museum, all in the middle of the village. There is also a nature trail for hikers, which starts and finishes here.
