Ajka, located in central-west Hungary, has been inhabited since the Stone Age. It developed into a major industrial town in the 19th century. A coal mine, an alumina factory, an aluminium smelter, as well as a world-famous glass factory were built here, along with the world's first krypton factory.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 4, #11, 22), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
