The settlement belongs to the Gödöllő hill range. The favourable geographical conditions attracted people to this area as early as in the prehistoric times. The pot fractions found here originated from the neolitic era (B.C. 5500-2300).

The copper age (B.C. 2300-1900) relics were found by the side of the bones of a man.

The relics of the Scythian era (B.C. VI-IV. century) were brought here by the memory the horsemen settling here from the Souh Russian heaths. On one of them there is a standing, on the other a crumpling statue of a bull. In the middle of the bells there are iron balls, which were used by shamans while conducting their rites and ceremonies. Scientific research proved that the sound of the bells and the balls were tinkling harmoniously, so their shapes were designed on purpose.

After the Scythians the Sarmata race appeared in our region - at the same time of the Roman occupation of Pannonia.

Of the material originated from the times of the Hungarian conquest (graves of a public cemetary) we may learn what kind of ornaments and tools were utilised by the Hungarian settlers. We can also see the bull anklebones, which were used as a game for children.

Four pieces of Árpádian coins are exhibited. The full material, the nearly 5000 pieces of silver coins were hidden in the ground in 1241. In those times 37 oxen or two armours could be bought at this price.

The farther history of the village can be traced back through the help of documents, tax lists and sales contracts. We can also learn that in the Turkish era the village was already existing. A list of the names of Csíktarcsan troops wittness to the Rákóczi war of independence. The name of the village was changed to Nagytarcsa in the year 1900. The history of the 20th century is also represented (contemporary newspapers, writings, dodgers, photographs bank notes, etc.).
