It sucks, the oldest settlement on Csepel Island. It was already used as a summer accommodation by the occupying Hungarians, even according to some assumptions, the settlement owes its name to them. Nowadays, Tökölön has more than 10 thousand inhabitants live, however, the population of the settlement is constantly increasing. Thanks to its excellent infrastructure, as well as its, hogy e pezsgő hangulatú város hagyományosan számos nemzetség otthonát jelenti.
From a church estate to a diverse settlement
The area of the Tököl settlement has been continuously inhabited since the Stone Age. Although the Romans did not establish a permanent settlement here due to the floodplain nature of the area, but this area was a favorite summer accommodation of the occupying Hungarians. So much so, that, according to some assumptions, the city itself was named after Prince Árpád's horseman. (According to other historians, the rider's name was Csepel, The name of the town of Tököl was related to the word perfect.)
Throughout its history, the settlement has always been in a privileged position compared to the surrounding villages. First, IV. (When) During László's time, who in 1280 to his sister, To Elizabeth, and through him donated the settlement to the Nyulak island nuns. Being a church property, Tököl thus enjoyed tax exemption in the coming times, which survived even after the collapse of the Árpád house.
Presumably thanks to its tax exemption, a 15. century, the settlement became an important center for the craftsmen of the time. Its population is increasing in the coming times, so the 16. In the 19th century, it was also given the status of a market town, in fact, it will be a popular summer accommodation for the children of the royal family.
Although its importance declines under Turkish subjugation, in fact, the area is completely depopulated for a while, however, after the reunification of the country, it can shine again in its old glory. The area, and the whole island a 17. at the end of the century, it was donated to Prince Jenő of Savoy. With a German name, Prinz Eugen, with favorable conditions, he invited Catholic German settlers here, to rebuild and populate the once bustling market town. The Catholic grids also arrived at the same time, who had a fundamental impact on the cultural life of the community. Even nowadays 1200 Croatian (many, buyevác), respectively 300 a German family lives in this diverse and prosperous settlement, amely 2001-től fogva városi ranggal is büszkélkedhet.
A gorge memorial to the flood
Despite its favorable position, The prosperity of the city of Tököl was not uninterrupted. One of the most serious disasters in the life of the settlement was the 1876 Tököl flood, when the ice flood almost completely flooded the central part of Csepel Island.
After the great Danube flood of 1838, it was only after the compromise that the Danube regulation works could start. Initially, however, these were limited to the area of the capital. As a result of the closure of the Soroksári Danube branch - which the engineers expected to prevent the formation of ice dams - the water level is close to 70 centimeters rose, thus, a so-called ice jam was formed at the islands of Kácsás and Bezdán, located not far from the city of Ercsi. As a result, the water level - threatening the entire Budapest area - continued to rise compared to before.
Until the capital managed to escape the devastating flood, because the decline has begun, until then, Csepel Island could not avoid the disaster. This is probably when the Tököl dike broke through at the ice plug above Kácsás Island, this is how Budapest was able to escape. On the contrary, the water in and around Tököl 100 it covered everything up to a meter high, its inhabitants - according to the lessons of the historians - traveled in boats in the one-street settlement. It took many months to repair the damage. Fortunately, today, as a result of the regulation of the Danube, Tököl is much less of an area at risk of flooding.
