Adamovićevo Naselje, which are today two separate city neighborhoods).
History
In the medieval period (13th-16th century), a settlement named Sent Marton (Kűszentmárton) existed at this location.
Modern settlement of Telep started to develop during the 1890s. Initially, settlement existed only in the area of present-day northern Telep, while southern Telep started to develop in 1902. In 1931, the population of the settlement numbered at around 9,000 inhabitants, mostly ethnic Hungarians.
