Und, Sopron, Hungary (German name Undten)

According to some opinions, the village was named after one of the leaders of the seven original Hungarian tribes. It was first mentioned in documents in 1225. Following damage by the Tatar troops, Croats from around Zagreb settled here.

As "Ond," the village aquired market town status from 1408. It was owned by the Ostffy family, later by the Poky family. The village acquired the rights to hold country-wide markets in the 18th century. After the village was destroyed by a huge fire, it was rebuilt on a new hilly site.

Today, it has a population of 392. Popular traditions are kept alive, and pupils at school are also taught in their Croation mother tongue.
