History

According to the finds that archeologists found here this land was inhabited since the Neolithic Ages. You may also see some ruins from the Roman Ages in the town. There was an important road running through this land during Roman Ages.
The name of the town is a Slav world and it means “hot water”. The first source which mentioned the name of Tapolca dates back to the 12C. During the 14-16C the town flourished. It was an important administrative, market and cultural center of this land. In the 15C it became the property and the domain center of the Charthouse Order. In the 16C the Turks captured Tapolca. In the 18-19C, after the expulsion of the Turkish troops it became an important center of wine selling. During the 20C, especially during the communist era, Tapolca’s industrial life developed very quickly. New block-houses were built for the families who migrated to Tapolca in hope to work in the factories. Nowadays tourism and the reconstruction of the old center are getting more and more important.
