Gádoros, known until 1901 as Bánfalva, is a large village in Orosháza district of Békés County, in the Southern Great Plain region of south-east Hungary.
Gádoros was the name of one of the two árpád-era villages near the present-day settlement. Neither of them was repopulated in the late Middle Ages,
but the árpád-era name has been preserved to this day. The Tatars burned it down in 1241.
A royal deed of donation from 1436 already mentions it as Gadoros-puszta, the name referring to the vestibule of the ancient church of the settlement.
In 1512 it was a puszta belonging to Szentetornya. The year of repopulation was 1826.
