History
The village was established prior to 1325 and is mentioned in reference to the village of Bóda. It is therefore speculated that the village was first created under the Árpád era. Another nearby community was established in 1778 by German artisans. The village expanded when the Dombóvár-Bátaszék railway line was built in the 1870s.[2]
