The Town

Balatonfüred is a small town and spa in Veszprém County in Hungary at the Lake Balaton. The town has got 13.227 inhabitants (1990 census) nearly all of them are Hungarians. One of the Official Ethnic Minorities of Hungary has got ethnic council in the town: The Gipsy.

From <www.balaton.info.hu>:
"Balatonfüred is the first spa of Hungary, it is the international town of grapes and wine. The town became well-known due to its carbon-dioxide springs and mediterranean-like climate. Balatonfüred existed already in the Roman Ages. Its name was first mentioned in the estate registration of Tihany Abbey in 1211. Owing to the curative effect of the springs near Lake Balaton this settlement was declared a spa in the 1700s. The development of the town started in the 19th century, during the Reformist Age. It became a favourite meeting place of progressive- minded politicians, artists, and the historical and cultural role of the settlement was the most important during this period. We have several monuments from this age."
I found a map from 1994 of Veszprém county, which shows the coat of arms of the city - which is on the flag above! Maybe the communist era coat of arms is used now.
The town was in the Zala County to 1946, in 1954 it was united with Balatonarács village, and in 1971 it became town.
You can see: Lake Balaton, villas, and a neighbouring Abbey of Tihany.
