Administration
Pest was granted the Charter of Free Royal Town in 1704. The core of the city was first called Belváros (German: Innenstadt) during the 18th century, when suburbs grew up around it. After the unification of Budapest in 1873, Belváros became the 4th district of the capital. On 1 January 1950 it was merged with neighbouring Lipótváros to form the 5th District. Since 1990 the district has officially called "Belváros-Lipótváros".
