Dorog (German: Drostdorf) is a small town in Komárom-Esztergom County, Hungary. It lies 38 km (24 mi) north-west from the center of Budapest. The name comes from Slavic drugъ (drug) - a partner, comrade, "brother". The valley between the Pilis and Gerecse mountains has been inhabited since the Neolithic. A Roman military road westwards from Aquincum passed by the present-day town of Dorog, where Roman dwellings with floor heating have been found, along with conduits, graves and milestones. When Hungary's kings resided at Esztergom in the 11th and 12th centuries, Dorog was where the cooks of the castle lodged. Roads from all directions met here in the Middle Ages, and the Chapter of Esztergom had the right to levy custom duties. The name, which appears in the form Durug, Drug and Durugd, is first mentioned in an extant document in 1181. More information...
