Storia
Agárd's history dates back to at least 1193, initially a royal estate with Bronze Age artifacts found in the area.
The region suffered depopulation during the Turkish occupation in the 16th century but was repopulated after the Turks were expelled in the late 17th century.
The 19th century brought significant development, including the construction of the Saint Anne Chapel and the arrival of the railway in 1861, which connected Agárd to Budapest and Székesfehérvár.
Agárd became a popular summer resort in the 1930s, aiming to relieve pressure on Lake Balaton.
