Tárnok is a village in Pest county, Hungary, about 20 kilometres (12 miles) away from the capital city of Budapest, on the border of the Érd-Sóskút plateau and the Érd-Ercsi ridge. The Danube river runs through the village. It has a nearly 300-year-old Catholic church, built in 1737, which was renovated in 2023.[4]
It is covered by a loess blanket, on which high-quality agricultural soil has formed. Despite this, the proportion of agriculture in the economic structure is extremely low. The valley of the south-easterly Benta stream was formed in the Pleistocene age through a structural fault. The region's drinking water is provided by extracting water from the Miocene strata. The drinking water was slightly polluted, with a relatively high nitrate ratio. This was fixed since, tap water is drinkable again.
Road and Transport Infrastructure
The village is located in between the 7-es főút and the M7 highway. The village has two main roads; the 8104 between Érd and Biatorbágy and road 8107 leading from the M7 interchange in Pusztazámor to the industrial park in Sóskút.
It can be reached with public transport by buses 741, 742 and 743 departing from the Tesco in Érd. It can also be reached with trains coming from the Budapest to Székesfehérvár railway line that stops at the Tárnok railway station.
Among all the economic sectors, agriculture has a low share and trade has a high share. Business density is low. There are significant differences in income averages within the region. In the case of Tárnok, the indicator does not reach the Pest county average, in fact, it remains significantly below average. Many people chose Budapest as their place of work, where the bigger commerce and the service industry provide them with a living; as well as the surrounding industrial centers.
The municipal landfill in Tárnok is full. The issue of disposal of household waste generated in the region was solved by utilizing the regional solid waste landfill in Pusztazámor.

Development Strategy
According to the objective of the development strategy plans for the village, there is a need for infrastructure developments. This would ensure the social composition of those who move to the village is spatially appropriate. The development strategy also includes developing an expedient and reasonable strategy for more extensively using the high-quality soil that is underneath the town. This would reduce the proportion of neglected areas in the town as well as removing allergy-causing weeds.
The expansion and survival of agriculture in the town requires the guarantee of safe production – prevention of theft – and assistance in the protection of the border of a farm, which would prevent illegal waste dumping.
Additionally, the recommendations of the development strategy are to further extend places of leisure such as hotels and to build more well thought out urban spaces. In the past, the residential plots of land next to the capital were more valuable. However, recently those areas have become less valuable due to stricter regulations.
Public Safety
The biggest issue regarding public safety is illegal waste dumping, followed by private property or garden thefts and bicycle thefts. These issues are concentrated mostly in the outskirts of the city.
The village has its own organized police force. Thanks to the years of hard work by officers, the number of crimes has significantly decreased in the village.
History
The earliest mention of Tárnok is from 1257. At first, the name was recorded as Tavarnuk. Later, in another document around 1283, it was called Tawarnucweg.
Judging from its name, the village may have once been inhabited by Tárnoks, who served the royal court of Buda after the Tatar invasion.
Tárnok consists of three major parts. The ancient core, Ófalu, the new settlement part was created in 1921, and Tárnokliget was parceled out in 1930 by the landowner Sándor Üszögi Nagy. In 2007, it was transferred from the Budaörs microregion to the newly formed Érdi microregion, and from 2013 it became part of the Érdi district.
Between 1257 and 1268, the peasants of the queen and the nobles of Berki (Érd) were in litigation over 2 pieces of land around Tárnok and Ékeny. They were combined and named Deszka.
