About Dombóvár

Dombóvár (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈdomboːvaːr]; German: Dombowar; Croatian: Dombuvar) is a town in Tolna County, Hungary. It is the third largest settlement in Tolna County after Szekszárd (the county seat) and Paks. Archeologic excavations show that the Dombóvár area has been continuously populated since the Stone

After the Roman withdrawal from the area, it was populated by the Slavs, who named the settlement after oak trees (dobov(o) in proto-Slavic). In 1715, the settlement was granted market town status. After 1871, with the reorganization of the public administration and the establishment of civil administration, the market town status was permanently abolished, and Dombóvár officially became a large village, although the locals kept referring to it as a town. On April 1, 1970 the Hungarian government officially elevated Dombóvár to the status of a town.
