The name of Majosháza comes from the old name “Moys” now known as Moses. The first document with the name Moys was written on June 3, 1337. The charters after 1411 mention the name Majosháza. In 1572 Szegedy Pál’s family was the owner of the village. After the expulsion of the Turks in 1727 the Halász and Gellért families owned the area. A few years later the area is mentioned as the property of the Jeszenszky family. In the 1848-1849 war of independence a lot of villagers fought in the Hungarian Army. In 1876, a flood severely damaged Majosháza and the conflagration in 1883 badly damaged the village. A Reform church was built in 1891 in an eclectic style. Nowadays the inhabitants in Majosháza experience an agrarian lifestyle.
