  Pest, Hungary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pest (pronounced pesht) is the eastern, mostly flat part of Budapest, comprising about two thirds of the capital's territory.
Pest was an independent city, whose first written mentions are found dating to 1148; however, an ancient Celtic settlement and later Roman settlements existed in the same place.
Consequently, in 1873, the two cities were unified with Óbuda to become Budapest.

 Bambooweb: Budapest
It became a single city occupying both banks of the river Danube with the amalgamation in 1873 of right-bank Buda and Óbuda with Pest on the left (east) bank.
Already a place of some significance, Pest recovered rapidly from its destruction by Mongol invaders in 1241, but it was Buda, the seat of a royal castle since 1247, which in 1361 became the capital of Hungary.
It was Pest, from 1723 the seat of the administrative apparatus for the kingdom, which enjoyed the fastest growth rate in the 18th and 19th century and contributed the overwhelming majority of the cities' combined growth in the 19th.
