Farmos
Farmos is a village in the district of Nagykáta (also a nearby town), in the middle of Pest county, and in the agglomeration of Budapest in Hungary. Farmos can be reached via Secondary Main Road 311 from Nagykáta, Tápiószele and Secondary Main Road 31 from Jászberény. The village has a railway station, which is connected to the Budapest-Nagykáta-Szolnok railway line.
Farmos was first mentioned officially in a document in 1420, but its history dates back to the ancient times, some artifacts found around the settlement are claimed to be from the times prior the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin.
The village was destroyed among many other Hungarian settlements during the Tatárjárás (Mongol invasion of Europe). The first lord to rule over Farmos and in the south and central part of Hungary was Máté Csák from 1311, then after his death the Káta family clan gained authority.
Before the beginning of the Turkish invasion, the village was property of the Mirliva family. In the seventeenth century, Farmos was damaged again, but stayed relevant among totally perished villages. In around 1700, several families from Zólyom County (Now part of Slovakia) were immigrated to the village, who had been hungarianized within a few decades. According to the county record of 1727, the recent area of the village was owned by - among others - Ádám Bene, Boldizsár Kozma, Count and Antal Grassalkovich. In the nineteenth century it was owned by the Ivánka-Kass-Matolcsy and Vízy families.

The territory of present-day Hungary has for centuries been a crossroads for various peoples, including Celts, Romans, Germanic tribes, Huns, West Slavs and the Avars. The foundation of the Hungarian state was established in the late 9th century AD with the conquest of the Carpathian Basin by Hungarian grand prince Árpád. His great-grandson Stephen I ascended the throne in 1000, converting his realm to a Christian kingdom. By the 12th century, Hungary became a regional power, reaching its cultural and political height in the 15th century. Following the Battle of Mohács in 1526, it was partially occupied by the Ottoman Empire (1541–1699). Hungary came under Habsburg rule at the turn of the 18th century, later joining with the Austrian Empire to form Austria-Hungary, a major power into the early 20th century.
