Summary/Abstract: This paper brings forth data on the Jewish family of nobles Tüköry de Algyest under Hungarian influence based on periodicals (Glasnik županije požeške, Narodne novine). They purchased the Daruvar feudal possessions from the noble family of Janković in 1879. In little more than a quarter of a century, this noble family invested a significant sum into the development of the possessions, Daruvar trade market, as well as other possessions. The political and economic action of its most esteemed member, nobleman and parliament member Vjekoslav Tüköry de Algyest is especially important. He used Hungarian capital to develop and completely control the state in the Daruvar trade market and its surroundings. The activity of the Tüköry de Algyest family in this period was key for the development of the economic and cultural life of the Daruvar region.
