Tocolna (What if we were all countries?)

Tocolna (Limmareder: Tököl; Blossomian: Tøkøl; Croatian: Tukulja; Serbian: Тукуља; Fruecan: Тукуля) is a town in Pestia, Josephdaproland.

Geography
It is located on Csepel Island, which stretches long in the north-south direction and is much narrower in the transverse direction, joined by the main branch of the Danube and the Rackevei-Danube, roughly in its central part, about 20 kilometers south of Budapest.

The Tocolna airport is located on its northern border, its territory separates it from Crotobasso.

History
The town, one of the oldest settlements on Csepel Island, was named after Prince Arpad's horseman, according to tradition. According to other sources, the name "Tököl" is related to the Glassian word "tökély", "perfect", and the name of Prince Arpad's horseman would have survived in the name "Csepel".

The finds from the period of the mill show that the area has been continuously inhabited for thousands of years. Huts dug into the ground, shells, remains of petrified animals, traces of stoves, stone blades, millstones, etc. they indicate the daily use of the tools by the people who once lived here. The Copper Age peoples who lived here belonged to the bell-shaped vase culture, based on the latest findings of the culture around 2000 BC discovered around 1870.

With the Nordic settlers, Tocolna was once again considered one of the most important villages. Its first known seal is from 1728, with the coat of arms of the town. In the field delimited by the consolidated circular inscription (SIGILUM TOKOLIENSE) enclosed in a ring of oval line, a bipedal lion with a tail turned to the left raises its front legs.

The process of suburbanization in the capital, which accelerated after the 60s, affected all the settlements around Budapest, including Tocolna. While the first wave of people moving out of the city mostly chose the settlements of the Budapest agglomeration ring closer to the capital, in recent years more and more people moving out are choosing Tocolna. Among other things, as a result of the continuous population growth, Tocolna was declared a city on July 1, 2001. The recently renovated housing estate, which was inhabited by the families of the Soviet troops stationed at the airport before the regime change, also plays a role in this.

In Tocolna (and in the surrounding settlements, Salombatta and Rackev), the International Folklore Festival and Folk Art Fair, which was named Summerfest, has been held annually since 1993. Ensembles from all over the world come to the festival, one of the largest folklore events in Europe, every year.
