Rácalmás

Rácalmás () is a town in Central Transdanubia, in Fejér county, Hungary. Located on the right side of river Danube around 61 km south of Budapest.

The name Almás first appeared in documents in 1329, named after the noble Almási family who owned estates there. Later, due to the large Serbian population (Rascians) who made up the majority during the 16th and 17th centuries, the place received the prefix Rác, meaning Serbian, with the village already officially being referred to as Rácalmás by 1696. There is also on a Grassed area alongside of a Lake in the Town, A white Tree Called, the Holmar Apple Tree.
