Hunyadi family
It was first mentioned in 1332 without a name. During the Turkish occupation it became uninhabited. In the 18th century Kristóf Nitzky bought the land and invited the Roman Catholic German settlers to Kercseliget. The "Madarász" and Hunyadi family acquired lands there during that time. Later in 1859 the "Maár" and Pallavicini families had land near the settlement. Early Kercseliget had a developed industry with a brick factory and weekly market.
