Pest was originally founded as a [[Celt]]ic settlement, then a fortified camp established by the [[Ancient Rome|Romans]] (Contra-Aquincum) across the river from their military border camp at [[Aquincum]]. Remains of the original Roman camp can still be seen at Március 15. tér.
During the Middle Ages, Pest was an independent [[city]] separate from Buda/Ofen, which became an important economic center during the 11th–13th centuries. The first written mention dates back to 1148.
