Táp

The village is first mentioned in a 1237 decree where it is referred to as Tapan. Over time the name was shortened to its current form. According to another document from the end of the 13th century the village contained 195 houses however was nearly destroyed by fire in 1881. The town's name was formally registered as Táp in 1898 and the village's current flag and crest was registered in 1992.

As a result of land reform following World War I the land within the village was broken up into smaller parcels. In further land reform following World War II 621 families were allotted 1800 kilo-hectares. The 1950s saw the collectivization and privatization of the village's agricultural lands. Private land ownership was reinstated during the transition from socialism in 1993-1994 and the collective was replaced by a 20-member agricultural production cooperative.

From 1969 to 1990 the village was administered by a regional council along with the neighboring villages Gyorasszonyfá and Tápszentmiklós. Since January 1, 1990 the village has an independent, locally elected municipal government.

• Stephen William Kuffler (1913–1980), neurophysiologist, was born in Táp.
