Bácsalmás (Croatian: Aljmaš or Bačaljmaš; German: Almasch; Serbian: Аљмаш, romanized: Aljmaš) is a small town in southern Hungary in the region of Bácska (Bács-Kiskun County) close to the border with the Vojvodina region of Serbia, with a population of 7,694 people.

In the Middle Ages, the region came under the control of the Magyars who absorbed the Slavic and the remnant Avar population.

With the Turkish defeat at the 1697 Battle of Zenta, Bácsalmás came under the control of the Habsburgs where it became a part of the Military Frontier.

[3] In the 19th century the town became a centre for wine and grain production which was exported mainly to Austria and Bohemia.

However, it retained its rural character the whole time with a strong artisan class which served the surrounding region.
