The first owner of the area was the church of Veszprém according to the documents from 1082. Because the settlement was first mentioned in this document its 920-year past has been counted since that time. Among the kings from the Árpád-House Géza II. visited this place several times. The Hungarian orders had their meeting here in 1532. In the Middle Ages it had the rank of town. The settlement could keep this rank until 1709. Its national fair was first mentioned in 1461.
