Újpest

Újpest (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈuːjpɛʃt]; German: Neu-Pest, English: New Pest)[3][4] is the 4th District in Budapest, Hungary. It is located on the left bank of the Danube River. The name Újpest means "New Pest" because the city was formed on the border of the city of Pest, Hungary in 1838.[4] Újpest was a village for six decades until 1907 when it became a town. In 1950, the town was unified with Budapest to form Greater Budapest. Since 1950, Újpest has been the 4th District of Budapest.

History edit

Isaac Lowy owned a shoe factory that he wanted to move to Pest but was unable to attain a settlement permit because he was Jewish.[3] In 1835, he decided to create a new town where he would build the factory.[3] North of Pest, there was an empty tract of land that was owned by the Károlyi nobles.[3] Lowy bought the land; the deed included the right of religious freedom, the right to self-government, and the right to engage in business.[3] By 1838, 13 Jewish families lived in Újpest; soon after, Christians began moving in.[4]

Famous statues, like Wesselényi Monument, Matthias Corvinus Monument, were cast in bronze by the workshops of Alexander Matthias Beschorner from Újpest.
