13. Ajka is an industrial town in Veszprém County on the
western hills of the Bakony Mountains not far from
the Lake Balaton.
14. By a legend Ajka is located on the territory, where a
giant lived.
Once he stumbled over the Somló Hill and struck
his lips.
Lip in Hungarian 'ajak', 'his lip' in Hungarian ‘ajka'
Where his lip touched the ground a town
grew, called AJKA.
15. Around 1000 B.C. the area was inhabited by Celts.
By the 2nd century A.D. the territory was
conquered by the Romans. The Hungarians
occupied the area in the early 10th century.
The village Ajka was named after the Ajka clan.
The village itself was first mentioned in 1214 when
it was already about a hundred years old.
16. The village developed slowly during the next few
centuries. Real prosperity came only in the second
half of the 19th century when coal resources were
found nearby.
In the 1930s vast bauxite resources were found too
The political changes of 1989/90 affected the
industry of the area, but Ajka quickly recovered
and it is now a prospering town.
17. Long time ago Ajka was a mining town, but in 1996
the mines were closed. Nowadays, most people
work in factories (glass factory, consumer
electronics, aluminium factory, foundry)
