Nagykozár
Nagykozár is a village in Baranya County, Hungary, just west of Pécs, the county capital; its local council also represents neighboring Bogád and Romonya.
Traditionally, most of the village inhabitants were either Croats or Danube Swabians, with Hungarians in the minority. The area entered history as a portion of the Hunnic and Avar domains, and, during the Hungarian conquest, was likely colonized by Khazars of the Kabar tribe, who may be the source of its root name (Kozár). The locality itself was reliably attested in 1332, only to be ransacked two centuries later by the Ottoman occupiers. The South Slavic population fluctuated during the Habsburg reconquest, when "Rascian" colonists gave way to Šokci, who came to view thelselves as a Croat subgroup. Later in the 18th century, Nagykozár was a target for Swabian colonization.
