Saint Pantaleon
The city replaced the village of "Dunapentele" ("Pantaleon up on the Danube"), named after Saint Pantaleon. The construction of this new industrial city started in 1949 and the original village was renamed "Sztálinváros" ("Stalin City") in 1951. After the Hungarian revolution of 1956 the new government renamed the city the neutral "Dunaújváros" in 1961, which means "Danube New City" (New City on the Danube).
