Maglód is a town in Pest County, Budapest metropolitan area, Hungary.
History
The name of Maglód was first mentioned in about 1200 by Anonymus in his narrative, according to which the grandfathers of the seventh leader of the conquest, Tétény (hu), were Gyula and Zombor, from whom the inhabitants of Maglód descend.[2]
In the 14th century Maglód was the property of the Kátai and Bodonyi families. During the period of Ottoman Hungary and during Rákóczi's War of Independence, the village was depopulated. The town was reinstated after 1710, with its new inhabitants composed mainly of Slovakian serfs from Nógrád. In the 18th century, the Fáy (hu) and Ráday (hu) families owned the village.
On 1 July 2007 the village was given the status of town.
