Culture and History

Helvécia is located in Hungary’s Bács-Kiskun County and the Kecskemét District.

Helvécia lists 1892 as its year of foundation; at that time, 88 Hungarian and 17 German winegrower families from Zala and Veszprém Counties settled there. This founding history is of interest to travellers who would like to understand the development of the town.

The settlement was named after a Swiss weaver; Helvetia is the Latin name for Switzerland.

A road connecting Helvécia with Kecskemét was built in 1949; a narrow-gauge railway followed in 1950.
