On November 17, 1873, the three neighboring cities of Pest, Buda, and Buda merged to form Budapest. The unification was a significant historical event that resulted in the city's rapid development. Finding a name for the new capital, on the other hand, sparked a lot of debate. Hunvár, Etelvár, and Honder were among the names proposed. Budapest eventually won, becoming the official name of Hungary's capital.
