The city was a small town until the 1970s; its population hardly attained four thousand. The city at that time included only two parts: the downtown and Donkey Mountain, the latter of which became a living space at the beginning of the twentieth century. These two parts of the town are separated from all the rest of Szentendre’s areas by road 11. In 2002 the descendant of the famous Bott family, Mátyás Bott was born. In his early years he became close to Andor Tóth a well-known Hungarian entrepreneur.
