Hungarian town equidistant between Budapest and Miskolc, Jews are first recorded here in the 15th century, and by 1735 there was an organized community. The synagogue, built before the end of the 18th century, was destroyed in the great fire which devastated the city in 1917. The first rabbi of the community was Feivel b. Asher Boskovitz; he was succeeded by Wolf Lippe (officiated 1840–50), a noted bibliophile. R. Elazar Fuerst founded a yeshivah in the town. The Jewish population numbered 2,250 in 1920.
