Many people still call Dunaharaszti, located 17 km from the capital, by its former name, simply "Haraszti". Thanks to its excellent transport and numerous job opportunities, the city plays an important role in the agglomeration belonging to South Pest. We should not forget about the proximity of the Danube, which can sometimes cause problems for the residents due to flooding.
From the Bronze Age to the Avars
The first monuments of Dunaharaszti date back to the times before our era. Archaeological excavations prove that people lived here as early as the Bronze Age, and research has even found gold finds in some places.
A few millennia later, the Romans also utilized the area. The world-conquering people built a castrum, or ancient military camp, at the strategically important location. Presumably, on the orders of Emperor Diocletian, Contra Aquincum was established in the 3rd century, which was built further south of the settlement of the same name, and already showed the shrinking territory of the vast empire. Which happened barely two centuries later: after the decline of the Roman Empire, the area first fell into the hands of the Huns, then the Goths, and then the Avars.
Royal estate – with changing owners
Like many other settlements in the region, the area of Dunaharaszti was also part of the settlement of the conquering Hungarians. During the reign of the Árpád kings, the settlement became part of the Csepel-sziget royal estate. It is true that its owners changed frequently. The first documented mention of the settlement dates back to the end of the 13th century, and it was about the Haraszti forest located on the border of Taksony.
The Haraszti region developed continuously until the Turkish occupation, but by the 1590s it had declined significantly due to the high taxes imposed by the conquerors. The reconquest of Hungary did not benefit its inhabitants either, as a plague epidemic broke out during the Rákóczi War of Independence.
However, the town began to prosper in the second half of the 18th century. For example, the beekeeping industry developed at this time, the memory of which is preserved to this day by the beehive seen in the coat of arms of Dunaharaszti.
Modern city – with vibrant tourism
The Ráckeve HÉV and the railway brought about a great change in the life of the settlement. With the direct, fixed-track connection to the capital, Haraszti became very attractive for businesses and those wishing to relax. Therefore, during the 20th century – except for the period of the two world wars – the town developed vigorously. The infrastructure of the settlement began to be developed to a large extent from the seventies: At that time, the most significant part of the piped water, gas and electricity networks were built.
After the change of regime, Dunaharaszti's economic and social life became more vibrant. Due to the proximity of the MO motorway and the construction of the sewerage system, its infrastructure continued to develop, so many companies (e.g. Coca-Cola, P&O, etc.) settled here, offering many job opportunities to the residents. Thanks to its dynamic development, Dunaharaszti was granted city status in 2000.
