Zalaegerszeg
Zalaegerszeg is the administrative centre of Zala County. The city was founded in 12th century, and has about 57,000 inhabitants (2019).
Understand
The area was already inhabited in the Upper Paleolithic, according to archaeological findings (the oldest ones in Zala county). Later, the area was inhabited by Celts. The first written mentions of the town are as Egerscug (1247) and Egerszeg (1293); the name means "alder-tree corner" and is probably a reference to the town's situation in the angle where two rivers meet.
