The town is an agricultural settlement with a total of three agricultural enterprises in the village. To the west of the village is the river Túr; more specifically, this is where the water of the Túr flows into the Tisza.

The village of Tiszakóród covers an area of 16.69 km2 (6 sq mi) and has a population of 819 people (2001).
The settlement and its surroundings have been inhabited since ancient times, as evidenced by several prehistoric mounds on its border.
The town was first mentioned in written texts in 1334 when it went by the name of Chorod and later by Korod in 1415. The name of the village is said to have either come from the word kóró, meaning a dry plant stem or shrub, or the word góró-góré, meaning watch post. [1] A logical reason for this naming is because it is said that Tiszakóród guarded the Tisza river crossing in 1374. [2]
The ancient owner of the village was the Kusaly family. In the 14th century, the Kölcseyes also had property here, to which the family received a new donation in 1344. In 1488, part of their estates were sold to the people of Perény. In 1550, Kórod was acquired by the Rozsályi Kúnok and annexed to the Rozsályi estate.
When Anna László Barkóczy married Anna Rozsályi Kún, she also received the settlement with her, and then her granddaughter became the wife of Mihály Kende, and from this she became the master of the Kende family.

At the beginning of the 20th century, its larger owner was Zsigmond Kende.
Fényes Elek described in his historical geography that the settlement on the banks of the Tisza, which had suffered greatly from the floods, was often washed away by the price, so he was forced to move further and further away from his original place. In the middle of the 19th century, the remains of the old village were still visible in a part called Burgundy.
The start of Jewish settlement is unknown in Tiszakóród. In 1880, Mátyás Márton founded a mill. From 1903, Kertész Miklós led the 500-acre estate of Kertész József. Schwartz Herman lived in the settlement from 1906, working as a mixed goods merchant, innkeeper, farmer, and municipal representative. Kaufmann Ferenc fell in World War I. From 1928, Mátyás Hermann established himself in the machinery and forging industry, then from 1937, he became a co-owner of the Mátyás Márton and Sons Roller Mill and Oil Factory with Mátyás István. Grosinger Miklós managed Zsürger László's estate from 1937. In 1941, there were 27 Jews in Tiszakóród. During the deportations they were first taken to Köles, then to Mátészalka, and from there to Auschwitz. In 1945, there were no Jews living there. [3]

The Benedictine Pannonhalma Archabbey or Territorial Abbey of Pannonhalma is a medieval building in Pannonhalma and is one of the oldest historical monuments in Hungary. Founded in 996, it is located near the town, on top of a hill. Saint Martin of Tours is believed to have been born at the foot of this hill, hence its former name, Mount of Saint Martin, from which the monastery occasionally took the alternative name of Márton-hegyi Apátság.

The kende was one of the kings of the dual-monarchy of the early Hungarians along with the gyula or war-chief. The function of the kende is believed to have been a religious one. At the time of the Magyar migration to Pannonia, the kende was named Kurszán. Upon Kurszán's death in a raid in approximately 904 CE, the office was taken up by the gyula Árpád, creating a single-head monarchy for Hungary. Though there are some scholars who believe that Árpád was the kende, who later took up the functions of the gyula.
