The area of today's Sand Mountains consisted of water-logged flats and beaches a few meters long, streams and veins crossed the countryside in all directions. The ancestors who settled here learned to use and appreciate the gifts of nature. The Őrjeg swamp also meant protection from outside attackers. Many people found refuge in the swamp during the Tatar invasion and the Turkish occupation. Compared to other areas of the country, the emigration was less spectacular, as evidenced by the significant amount of archaeological findings. The center of the village, which consists of six settlements, is Homokmégy, and the associated accommodations are Alsómégy, Hillye, Kiskecskemégy, Halom and Mácsa.​
