List of districts in Budapest
The Budapest districts are municipalities within the capital and units of public administration. In Hungarian, the districts with roman numerals are numbered clockwise.
History
From 1873 to 1930
With the unification of the three cities of Buda, Óbuda and Pest to the uniform capital Budapest in 1873 initially created 10 districts.
In the area of Buda and Óbuda on the right side of the Danube, the former districts 1-3 were:
On the former Pester urban area, the districts 4-10 were:
- 4th District: Belváros
- 5th District: Lipótváros
- 6th District: Terézváros
- 7th District: Erzsébetváros
- 8th District: Józsefváros
- 9th District: Ferencvaros
- 10th district: Kőbánya
From 1930 to 1950
In May 1930, the City Council informed the Law 1930: XVIII.tc. four new districts a. These were fully developed only in the next 10 years.
The 11th and 12th district were separated from the 1st District. These are the areas of the former Buda on the right bank of the Danube. The 11th District was completed on March 1, 1934, the 12th district on July 1, 1940.
The districts 13 and 14 were created by the new division of the 5th, 6th, 7th and 10th district on the left bank of the Danube. The western 13th district was completed on 15 June 1938, the eastern 14th district 3 years ago.
In addition, the Port State area in Csepel and in the possession of the city located woodland between Budakeszi and Budapest became affiliated. The harbor area became part of the 9th district, and on the Budakeszier forest area of the 12th district was expanded.
As a result of the reorganization, the former City arrangement was fundamentally changed. Previously, the districts were arranged radially around the very small 4th District, which ranged except for the 8th district to the city limits. The districts in the center ( 1st, 5th, 6th and 7th district) were small and very densely populated.
After 1950
Since the 1950s, the number of districts is initially 22, later increased to 23. On January 1, 1950, the city, seven Komitatsstädte and 16 large communities of Pest - Pilis - Solt -Kiskun, located partly on the territory of the present county Pest and Bács -Kiskun connected.
It is the former independent places Budafok, Csepel, Kispest Pestszenterzsébet, Pestszentlőrinc, Rákospalota, Újpest and the large municipalities Albertfalva, Békásmegyer, Budatétény, Cinkota, Mátyásföld, Nagytétény, Pesthidegkút, Pestszentimre, Pestújhely, Rákoscsaba, Rákoshegy, Rákoskeresztúr, Rákosliget, Rákosszentmihály, Sashalom and Soroksár.
Three other areas were previously parts of other locations:
- Szabadságtelep that belonged until then to Csömör
- Adyliget, which was previously a part of Nagykovacsi
- The current airport, formerly part of Vecsés
Of the 14 old districts only the 4th district has retained its limits in its original form. Otherwise, all district boundaries were changed more or less in the Greater Budapest.
Of the 23 settlements that merged with the capital, three were connected to the old districts, this also one of the districts, which previously belonged to another settlement. These are Albertfalva ( 11th District ), Békásmegyer ( 3rd District ), and Pesthidegkút Adyliget (each 2nd district ).
Of the other 20 villages and two hamlets nine were assigned to the new districts. The eight new districts were numbered in circular order 15-22. The most northerly Újpest was given the number 9
The new districts were formed from the following settlements, whose ancient limits they are each outgrown:
- 4th District: Újpest M.V. *
- 15th district: Rákospalota M.V. and Pestújhely nagyközség nk. *
- 16th District: Cinkota, Mátyásföld, Rákosszentmihály and Sashalom nk, also Szabadságtelep.
- 17th District: Rákoscsaba, Rákoshegy, Rákoskeresztúr and Rákosliget nk.
- 18th District: Pestszentlőrinc mv, Pestszentimre nk, also the area around the airport Vecse.

- 20th District: Pesterzsébet M.V. and Soroksár nk.
- 21st District: Csepel M.V.
- 22nd District: Budafok mv, Budatétény and Nagytétény nk.
In 1994, the former Soroksár from the 20th District was spun off and has since formed the 23rd District.
