The village lies at the foot of the Cserhát hills by the upper River Galga in Pest County, near the border with Nógrád County.

Most of Acsa's population is Slovakian.



Communications


Route 2108 serves the village by road from Aszód and Balassagyarmat.
Stopping trains of the Hungarian State Railways serve the village on line 78 (Aszód–Balassagyarmat–Ipolytarnóc). Acsa and Erdőkürt share a station ("Acsa-Erdőkürt"), between Püspökhatvan and Galgaguta.



History


The first known mention of the village as "Acha" was in 1341. At that time the village was owned by the Achai family and from 1422 it was the Palatine Miklós Garai's property. During Turkish rule (see Ottoman Hungary) the village was demolished, but later on Slovakians settled. From 1730 the village was the Prónay family's land.
