History

The area around Tolna was already settled in Roman times, when the Romans likely built a border fort here called Alta Ripa, which was later eroded by the Danube in the post-Roman era. During the reign of the Árpád dynasty in Hungary, the settlement was called Thelena and was later renamed Tolna.
