Name<\/strong><\/p>\n

The area was formerly called \u00d6k\u00f6r-d\u0171l\u0151, meaning „Oxmeadow”. The first mention of the name comes from 1241 in the archaic form, Ukurf\u00f6ld. In the 18th century the area was called Ochsenried in German. Around 1800 the official name was changed to Batthy\u00e1ny-erd\u0151 (Batthy\u00e1ny Forest) after its tenants, the Batthy\u00e1ny family.[2] The first trees and planified walkways were established in 1751 and after the public park was created in the first decades of the 19th century the present-day name, V\u00e1rosliget (and its German version, Stadtw\u00e4ldchen) was accepted and it became the first public park in the world.<\/p>\n
