Could a town’s name come from fierce warriors? Budaörs, nestled in the Budaörs-basin near Budapest, might just owe its name to the Kabar tribe, ancient allies of the conquering Hungarians. Budaörs sits between the Buda and Csiki hills and the Tétény plateau. The imposing Törökugrató hill overlooks the town. Budaörs has a rich history, stretching back to 3500 BC. Think Bronze Age discoveries along the Hosszúrét creek. Imagine the Celtic Eraviscus tribe inhabiting this land before the Romans arrived. Roman villas dot the landscape around Kamaraerdő, remnants of a bygone era. The first written record of Budaörs appears in 1236. King Béla IV gifted a church and the St. Martin chapel to the Cistercians. During the Ottoman rule, Budaörs became deserted. It was later revived in the 18th century by Schwab peasants, brought in by Countess Zsuzsanna Bercsényi. Budaörs grew rapidly. A population of 1143 at the end of the 18th century tripled within 40 years. World War I impacted Budaörs heavily. The town witnessed a clash between Hungarian royalists and the government in the Battle of Budaörs in 1921. After World War II, Budaörs became a starting point for the forced displacement of ethnic Germans. Today, Budaörs stands as a testament to its layered past, a blend of ancient settlements, royal decrees, and turbulent times.
