English The settlement was named after the Árpád era Bogát, who provided salt supplies from Northern Transylvania to the interior of the country. The area was already inhabited in the late Stone Age, but the first written record of the area dates back to 1310. Around the turn of the 14th century, the settlement may have been depopulated, but it was rebuilt. The name Újbogát from 1345 refers to this. It was also owned by the Kállays and the Vays. The late Baroque Reformed church, built on the church hill, stands out from the surrounding flat landscape, and its foundation stone was laid in 1823. 
Two Bogáthy families played a role in the history of Bogát. The first appears among the local landowners in 1405 and probably lived here until the end of the 16th century. The fact that they also owned Kisleeta in 1460 and Nyírgelse in 1484 is evidence of their financial growth. In 1552, István Bogáthy was elected deputy county governor of Szabolcs county.
The other Bogáthy family appears in the life of the village in 1865, when József Pscherer (1844-1910), a Hungarian royal councillor born in Überlingen, a town in the Grand Duchy of Baden, into a deeply religious Roman Catholic bourgeois family, buys the Fáy estate.

Within a short time, the Reformation reached the village, and it took a Calvinist, Helvetic direction. In 1547, the local church already had a pastoral charter. And they took possession of the village church. It had two towers and needed to be rebuilt. Its bricks were used up, the shortfall being made up with new burnt bricks. The foundation stone was laid on 16 April 1823. The fully completed church was opened on 24 October 1828.

The late Baroque Reformed Church, built on the church hill and dedicated to St George, stands out in the flat landscape of the area.
The foundation stone of the church was laid on 16 April 1823, built with the donations and labour of 232 families. In September 1824, the spire was topped with a bell tower.
The dimensions of the church are: length = 15 fathoms, width = 11 fathoms, it has two bells of 2 and 4 masses.
The church was put into use on 24 October 1828. Unfortunately it burnt down on the morning of 5 February 1864. The bells were incinerated and only the walls remained. After the restoration, pews were added, the tower was raised by 2 fathoms, and the church was then covered with a tin roof.
On 19 June 1916, another tragedy occurred: a windstorm blew the tin roof off the tower, smashed the windows and the church was restored with outside help.
Another storm again blew the tin off the roof and damaged the wooden structure. The restoration was done with the donation of the faithful, at which time the red copper cladding was put on the tower.

The Reformed Church in Nyírbogát is a listed building, last restored in 1992. The church has a capacity of almost 1000 people. 
The entrance is in the axis of the south tower, in a stone frame with straight-ended, stone carvings. The tower is divided into 4 levels by a main parapet and two dividing parapets. Its openings are set in pilasters with lisened frames. Above the entrance is a semicircular window with an oval above and another semicircular window with an oval above and another semicircular window with an oval above and another semicircular window with an oval above and a ribbon frame. The tower is capped by a triangular pediment with dentil decoration. Above this is a simple tin dormer.
The nave is connected to the tower by a curved wall section and pediment. The east and west walls have 3 to 3 segmental-arched windows in lisened-framed mullioned sashes under straight and segmental-arched sills respectively. The end wall of the arched nave has two segmental-arched windows with straight sills. The upper roof is covered with sheet metal.
Above the entrance, a biblical quotation exhorts the faithful: 'Praise the mighty God in His holy dwelling place!
