József Hertelendy

József Hertelendy (23 May 1833 – 31 August 1891) was a politician, Lord-lieutenant of Torontál in Hungarian Kingdom,

His thorough education and extensive knowledge soon became public knowledge, which is why he was elected president of the Upper Torontal Price Relief Society in 1857. He lived in Bochar and was not only involved in its management, but also managed the affairs of the Price Relief Society with excellent expertise and tact. When the political conditions changed in 1860, he also entered the field of action and began to appear in political life. After just a few months, he became so well known due to his excellent talent and tact seen in all areas that on February 4, 1861, he was elected with great enthusiasm as the serf judge of Nagykikinda district. He held this office until the provisional period occurred, when he resigned together with the constitutional officers of the county. The provisional government did everything to win him over, and even wanted to keep him in the public service so much that, among other promising promises, he was also offered the position of first lieutenant, which he refused.

During his presidency, in 1882, Székelys of Bukovina were invited back to their homeland and it was possible to establish two premises in the Pančevo district through resettlement.
