Diósd is a small town located between Budapest and Érd in the Budapest metropolitan area, in érd district of Pest County.
Diósd was first mentioned in 1417 under king Sigismund. Diósd is known in German by the name Orasch.
The reason for this phenomenon is that after the Turkish invasion, the area was fully uninhabited.
Swabians arrived from Southern Germany to repopulate the town and they were in majority there until the end of the second world war, when many of the Swabes were chased away.
At the beginning of the 20th century Diósd was part of the Fejér county. Since the 1990s, many new houses were built in the town since people wanted to move near Budapest.
Diósd officially became a city on 15 July 2013.
