"Magyar Posta, in unison with government endeavours, gives high priority to programmes promoting rural and village development. One of our important objectives is to gradually reopen small post offices that have been closed in villages, if possible, where the local community require this. A commemorative postcard is being released to mark the opening of the post office in Küngös, the first of the previously closed village post offices to reopen. The village of Küngös is in Veszprém county, in the area of Balatonalmádi. The name of the village is of Pecheneg origin and means Kinga or Cunegunda, a name also borne by one of the daughters of Béla IV. The area was first mentioned in 1290 as Kingus. In 1729, under the names Egyházküngöspuszta and Pusztaküngös, it became the property of the Kenesey and Tóth clans, and Baron Vojnich. For three centuries it was referred to as puszta, i.e. an isolated farm, and in the mid 19th century it started to turn into a village known as Küngös. Source: http://hu.wikipedia.org The building of the local authority housing the reopened post office is in an oval in the centre of the picture side of the postcard, and photographs showing different aspects of the village are in sections with curved edges around it. The arms of Küngös are featured in the stamp design of the postcard. Magyar Posta’s logo is used for the commemorative postmark."
