The following lists show the administrative divisions of the Kingdom of Hungary (1000 -1918) at selected points of time. The names are given in the main official language used in the Kingdom at the times in question. For details on the functioning and development of the counties and some other administrative divisions see Comitatus (Kingdom of Hungary). [[Image:Historic_counties_of_Hungary.png|thumb|270px|Map of the counties in the Kingdom of Hungary around 1880]] == Notes == This article does not show all states of administrative divisions that existed throughout the centuries, only the major ones. Especially for the Middle Ages period, various sources often give slightly different divisions. Also, the lists of the individual points of time stem from different sources so that the first-level categorization is not necessarily compatible over time. It is also important to bear in mind that it is more correct to translate the Hungarian counties as "comitatuses", because they were completely different from territories of British count or German Graf. == Around 1074 == Around 1074, the whole Kingdom of Hungary consisted of some 45-50 counties. The existence of many of them is disputed for this time period. === Counties === *Fehér *Fejér (a very big county) *Arad (Hungarian county) *Bács (southern part of the later Bacsensis) *Baranya (incl. the other Drava bank with Pozega) *Tekov *Bihar (county) (bigger than the later Bihariensis) *Békés (county) *Bodrog county (northern part of the later Bacsensis) *Borsod *Borsova (approxim. later Bereg (county)); *Vas *Komárom county *Csanád *Csongrád (county) *Doboka county (around Dobaca) *Hont - maybe *Gyor (county) *Karakó (between Castriferrei and Vespriminiensis) *Kéve (northern part of the later Torontál) *Kolon (later called Zala, but here incl. the other Drava bank) *Kolozs *Krassó *Kraszna (around Crasna) - maybe *Küküllö *Moson, *Nógrád (county) *Nitra county *Novi Castri (the later Abov+ southern Saris+ Heves (county)) *Wissegradensis (the later county Pest (county) and Pilis county) *Bratislava county *Somogy (incl. the other Drava bank) *Sopron (county) *Esztergom (county) *Szabolcs *Szatmár *Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok (around Szolnok) *Szolnokiensis II (around Dej) *Temes *Tolna (county) *Torda *Trencin county - annexed at the end of the 11th century only *Turna *Ung *Valko *Veszprém (county) *Zaránd (in the Körös river basin) *Zemplin - maybe === Frontier counties === The following castles are assumed to have been seats of frontier counties (''marchiae'', ''határispánságok''), it is probable that other castles were such seats as well (ordered from the north to the south): * in present-day Slovakia: Bratislava (at that time: Bresburc/ Preslawaspurch/Poson), Hlohovec (at that time: Golguc/Golgoc), Trencin (at that time: Treinchen), Beckov (at that time:Blundus), Nitra (at that time:Nitria), Sintava (at that time:Sempte), Gemer Castle (at that time:Gomur), Zemplin Castle (at that time: Zemněn, Zemlyn) *in present-day Ukraine: Uzhhorod (Ungvár), Borsova *in present-day Hungary: Moson Castle, Sopron, Abaújvár (Hungarian at that time: Újvár), Borsod Castle, Vasvár, Karakó (near Jánosháza), Zalavár (called Kolon at that time) *present-day Romania: Dobaca (Hungarian:Doboka), Alba Iulia (Hungarian:Gyulafehérvár), Cluj-Napoca (Hungarian:Kolozsvár), Satu Mare (Hungarian:Szatmárnémeti), Timisoara (Hungarian:Temesvár), Turda (Hungarian:Torda) *present-day Croatia: Vukovar (Hungarian:Valkóvár) *present-day Serbia: Beograd (Hungarian at that time: Fehérvár), Stara Palanka (Hungarian: Haram (Krassó)), Kovin (Hungarian: Kéve) == 15th century == In the late 14th and in the 15th century there were around 70 counties, out of which 7(?) under the voivode of Transylvania, 7 under the banus of Slavonia and 21 completely or partly on the territory of Slovakia. === Counties=== ====Hungary proper==== *Fejér *Abov *Arad (Hungarian county) *Orava (county) *Bács *Baranya *Tekov *Békés (county) *Bereg (county) *Bihar (county) *Borsod *Vas *Komárom county *Csanád *Csongrád (county) *Gemer *Heves (county) *Hont *Gyor (county) *Kéve *Gemer *Krassó *Kraszna *Liptov *Máramaros *Moson *Nagysziget *Nitra county *Nograd *Pest (county) *Pilis county *Pozsega *Bratislava county *Saris *Spis *Somogy *Szerém *Sopron (county) *Esztergom (county) *Szabolcs *Zala *Szatmár *Szolnok exterior (Külső-Szolnok) *Szolnok mediocris (Közép-Szolnok) *Temes *Turiec *Tolna (county) *Turna *Torontál *Trencin county *Ugocsa *Ung *Veszprém (county) *Valko *Zaránd *Zemplin *Zvolen county ====Transylvania==== *Fehér *Barcaság (also: Burcia, Burica) *Beszterce *Kolozs *Doboka county *Fogarasföld *Hunyad *Küküllö *Szeben (literally "Saxony") *Szolnok interior (Belső-Szolnok) *Torda ====Slavonia==== *Körös *Dubica *Orbasz (also spelled Vrbas, Wrbas, Urbas etc. ) *Szana (at the Sana River) *Varasd *Veröce *Zágráb ====Croatia ==== - ==== The Banates ==== *Belgrade Banate (Hungarian: Nándorfehérvári bánság) *Jajce Banate (Hungarian: Jajcai bánság) *Macva Banate (Hungarian: Macsói bánság) *Severin Banate (Hungarian: Szörényi bánság) *Szrebernik Banate (Hungarian: Szreberniki bánság) === Special status === ==== Hungary proper ==== *Halasszék (a sedes) *Jászság *Kolbászszék (a sedes) *Kunság *Spis(in 1412, thirteen of the towns were pawned to Poland and kept a special status) ====Transylvania==== *Aranyosszék (Hungarian:Aranyosszék) *Csíkszék (Csíkszék) *Gyergyószék (Gyergyószék) *Kászonszék (a sedes; Casin in Romanian) *Kézdiszék (Kézdiszék) *Marosszék (Marosszék) *Orbaiszék (Orbaiszék) *Sepsiszék (Sepsiszék) *Udvarhelyszék (Udvarhelyszék) ===Free royal towns and the mining towns (Liberae regiae civitate et civitates montanae)=== Their number was changing (the mining towns were largely situated in Slovakia) == 16th-18th century == In the 16th century, the Kingdom was so gravely impacted by Ottoman conquest that its territory was reduced to almost a third of its previous size. By 1541, the remaining part was renamed History of Hungary and ruled by the Habsburgs. === Captaincies (1547 - around 1700) === In 1547, History of Hungary was divided for military and partly also administrative purposes in two ''captaincies-general'' (Hungarian: ''főkapitányságok'', Slovak: ''hlavné kapitanáty''): *Cisdanubia (largely present-day Slovakia) *Transdanubia (the remaining Royal Hungary). Later on, these captaincies were further subdivided. In 1553 and 1578, southern and southeastern regions were split off into the Military Frontier and were de facto no longer part of the Kingdom. Also, after 1606 there were the following captaincies-general: *Upper Hungary (eastern Slovakia and adjacent northeastern present-day Hungary and Carpathian Ruthenia, created 1563) *Cis-Danubia and the Mining Captaincy (western and central Slovakia, created 1563) *Between the Danube and the Balaton (Burgenland and northwestern present-day Hungary) *Between the Balaton and the Drava (present-day border region of Austria, Slovenia, Hungary) *Croatia (western Croatia) *Vend === Counties (17th - 18th century) === Note that many of the counties ceased to exist during the Ottoman Empire occupation (app. 1541 - 1699/1718). For administrative divisions on the Turkish territory see Ottoman Empire. After the defeat of the Turks (around 1700) there were some 70 counties in the whole Kingdom of Hungary again. After the final defeat of the Turks in 1718, the three southern counties Temes, Torontál and Krassó created the special administrative district ''Banatus Temesiensis'' (Hungarian: ''Temesi Bánság''). This district was dissolved again in 1779, but its southermost part remained part of the Military Frontier (Confiniaria militaria) till the late 19th century. The following list does not show Transylvania. The "districtus" is only a traditional formal division. Note that some of the previous counties, e. g. the Zarandiensis, were part of Transylvania at this time. (a) Districtus Cis-Danubianus (13): *Orava (county) *Bács *Tekov *Hont *Liptov *Nitra county *Nógrád (county) *Pest (county) *Bratislava county *Esztergom county *Trencin county *Turiec *Zvolen county (b) Districtus Trans-Danubianus (11): *Fejér *Baranya *Vas *Komárom county *Gyor (county) *Moson, *Somogy *Sopron (county) *Tolna (county) *Veszprém (county) *Zala (c) Districtus Cis-Tybiscanus (10): *Abov *Bereg (county) *Borsod *Gemer *Heves és Közép-Szolnok *Saris *Spis *Turna *Ung *Zemplin (d) Districtus Trans-Tibiscanus (12): *Arad (Hungarian county) *Békés (county) *Bihar (county) *Csanád *Csongrád (county) *Krassó *Máramaros *Szabolcs *Szatmár *Temes *Torontál *Ugocsa (e) Counties between the Drava and Sava (after the defeat of the Turks around 1700, they were considered part of Croatia-Slavonia): *Pozsega *Szerém *Veroce/Valko === Free districts (Circuli/Districtus liberi)=== These were priviledged territories, which were totally exempt from the county system. It is possible that there were more of them, but only the following are known: * Districtus Jazygum et Cumanum (Hungarian: Jászkunság / Jászkun kerület) * Spis -since 1772, before 1772 the towns were pawned to Poland and had another special status * Oppida privilegiata Hajdonicalia (Hungarian: Hajdúság) - since the 17th century === Free royal towns and the mining towns (Liberae regiae civitate et civitates montanae)=== Their number was changing == Temporary administrative divisions (1785-1790) == The Kingdom of Hungary, including Croatia and Slavonia, was divided into 10 military/administrative districts: *Nitra *Banská Bystrica *Kosice *Mukacheve *Gyor *Pest (county) *? *? *? *? Each district consisted of 4 to 7 counties, whose borders were changed in 1786. In 1790, the pre-1785 system was restored. == After the Revolution of 1848 == For details see Comitatus (Kingdom of Hungary) ===1849-1860 === During this period, Croatia, Slavonia, the Military Frontier, Voivodina (''Szerb vajdaság'') and the Banatus Temesiensis (''temesi bánság'') were separated from the Kingdom of Hungary and directly subordinated to Vienna (Austria). The remaining territory of the Kingdom of Hungary (which did not include Transylvania at that time) was divided into 5 Districts: *Bratislava *Kosice *Sopron *Pest (city)-Buda *Oradea These Districts were divided into counties, whose traditional territories however were modified in 1850 and 1853. === 1860-1867=== In October 1860, the Districts were abolished and the pre-1848 counties were restored. == 1867 - 1918== Since 1867 the administrative and political divisions of the Kingdom of Hungary (Kingdom of Hungary) have been in great measure remodelled. In 1868 Transylvania was definitely reunited to Hungary proper, and the town and district of Rijeka (Fiume) declared autonomous. In 1873 part of the Military Frontier was united with Hungary proper and part with Croatia-Slavonia. Hungary proper, according to ancient usage, was generally divided into four great divisions or circles, and Transylvania up to 1876 was regarded as the fifth. In 1876 a general system of counties was introduced. According to this division Hungary proper was divided into seven circles, of which Transylvania forms one. The following administrative divisions existed between 1886 and 1918: ===Rural Counties=== In the following, the key in the brackets gives the capital towns around 1910 first (note however that the capitals were usually changing throughout the centuries) and then the abbreviation for the country in which the territory is situated today: #HU = present-day Hungary #SK = present-day Slovakia #UA = present-day Ukraine #AT = present-day Austria #RO = present-day Romania #HR = present-day Croatia #CS = present-day Serbia and Montenegro #SI = present-day Slovenia #PL = present-day Poland The Kingdom of Hungary was divided into the following 71 counties: ====Hungary proper ==== (a) The circle on the left bank of the Danube contained eleven counties: #Orava (county) (Dolny Kubin, SK, PL) #Tekov (Zlate Moravce, SK) #Esztergom county (Esztergom, SK, HU) #Hont (Sahy, SK, HU) #Liptov (Liptovsky Mikulas, SK) #Nógrád (county) (Balassagyarmat, SK, HU) #Nitra county (Nitra, SK) #Bratislava county (Bratislava, SK) #Trencin county (Trencin, SK) #Turiec (Martin, Slovakia, SK) #Zvolen county (Banska Bystrica, SK) (b) The circle on the right bank of the Danube contained eleven counties : #Baranya (Pécs, HU, HR) #Fejér (Székesfehérvár, HU) #Györ (county) (Györ, HU) #Komárom county (Komarno, SK, HU) #Moson (Mosonmagyaróvár, HU, AT, SK) #Somogy (Kaposvár, HU) #Sopron (county) (Sopron, HU, AT) #Tolna (county) (Szekszárd, HU) #Vas (Szombathely, HU, AT, SI) #Veszprém (county) (Veszprém, HU) #Zala (Zalaegerszeg, HU, HR, SI) (c) The circle between the Danube and Tisza contained five counties: #Bács-Bodrog (Sombor, HU, CS) #Csongrád (county) (Szentes, HU) #Heves (county) (Eger, HU) #Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok (Szolnok, HU) #Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kiskun (Budapest, HU) (d) The circle on the right bank of the Tisza contained eight counties: #Abov (Kosice, SK, HU) #Bereg (county) (Berehove, UA, HU) #Borsod (Miskolc, HU) #Gemer (Rimavska Sobota, SK, HU) #Saris (Presov, SK) #Spis (Levoca, SK, PL) #Ung (Uzhhorod, SK, UA) #Zemplin (Sátoraljaújhely, SK, HU) (e) The circle on the left bank of the Tisza contained eight counties: #Békés (county) (Gyula, HU) #Bihar (county) (Oradea, RO, HU) #Hajdú (Debrecen, HU) #Közép-Szolnok (RO) Note: In 1876 the counties of Kraszna (county) and Közép-Szolnok were united to form Szilágy. #Kraszna (county) (RO) #Máramaros (Sighetu Marmatiei, UA, RO) #Szabolcs (Nyíregyháza, HU) #Szatmár (Carei, RO, HU) #Szilágy (Zalau, RO) #Ugocsa (Vynohradiv, UA, RO) (f) The circle between the Tisza and the Mures river contained five counties: #Arad (Hungarian county) (Arad, Romania, RO, HU) #Csanád (Makó, HU, RO) #Krassó-Szörény (Lugoj, RO) #Temes (Timisoara, RO, CS) #Torontál (Zrenjanin, CS, RO, HU) (g) Transylvania contained fifteen counties (all in present-day Romania): #Alsó-Fehér (Aiud) #Beszterce-Naszód (Bistrita) #Brassó (Brasov) #Csík (Miercurea Ciuc) #Fogaras (Fagaras) #Háromszék (Sfantu Gheorghe) #Hunyad (Deva) #Kis-Küküllö (Tarnaveni) #Kolozs (Cluj-Napoca) #Maros-Torda (Targu Mures) #Nagy-Küküllö (Sighisoara) #Szeben (Sibiu) #Szolnok-Doboka (Dej) #Torda-Aranyos (Turda) #Udvarhely (Odorheiu Secuiesc) ====Croatia-Slavonia==== Croatia-Slavonia was divided into eight counties (all, except for most of Szerém, in present-day Croatia): #Belovár-Körös (Bjelovar, HR) #Lika-Krbava (Gospic, HR) #Modrus-Fiume (Ogulin, HR) #Pozsega (Pozega, HR) #Szerém (Vukovar, HR, CS) #Varasd (Varazdin, HR) #Veroce (Osijek, HR) #Zágráb (Zagreb, HR) ===Towns with municipal rights=== The following 30 Hungarian towns had municipal rights: ====Hungary proper==== Hungary proper had twenty-six urban counties or towns with municipal rights. These were: * Arad, Romania, * Baja (Hungary), * Debrecen, * Gyor, * Hódmezovásárhely, * Kosice (Kassa), * Kecskemét, * Cluj-Napoca (Kolozsvár), * Komárno (Komárom), * Targu Mures (Marosvásárhely), * Oradea (Nagyvárad), * Pancevo (Pancsova), * Pécs, * Bratislava (Pozsony), * Banska Stiavnica and Banská Belá (Selmecbánya and Bélabánya, one urban county), * Sopron, * Subotica (Szabadka), * Satu Mare (Szatmárnémeti), * Szeged, * Székesfehérvár, * Timisoara (Temesvár), * Novi Sad (Újvidék), * Vrsac (Versec), * Sombor (Zombor), and * Budapest, the capital of the country. ====Croatia-Slavonia==== In Croatia-Slavonia there were four urban counties or towns with municipal rights namely: * Osijek (Eszék), * Varazdin (Varasd), * Zagreb (Zágráb) and * Zemun (Zimony). ===Rijeka (Fiume)=== The town and district of Rijeka (''Fiume'') formed a separate division. It was a subject of dispute between Hungary proper and Croatia-Slavonia and changed hands several times (its desirability as a seaport caused it to change hands even after the Hungarian-Croatian union eventually broke up). ==External links== * [http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/maps/1910/vmlista.htm 1910 Maps of the counties] * [http://www.talmamedia.com/map/hhcounty/hhcounty.htm Maps of Counties of the Hungarian Kingdom (1913) from Talmamedia.com] History of Croatia History of Hungary History of Slovakia Romanian history Serbian history Vojvodina
''See also: Talk:List of historic counties of Hungary'' ==15th century counties in .hr== It somehow doesn't make sense to call Križevci, Dubica, Vrbas, Sana, Varaždin, Virovitica and Zagreb "Slavonia" when at the same time have Vukovar, Szerem and Požega are in Hungary proper. Juro, are you sure you copied this correctly? --User:Joy 21:05, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC) I made the greatest efforts to copy this correctly. The problem is that parts of later Croatia-Slavonia were part of Hungary (apparently those in eastern Slavonia) and others not and this seem to have been constantly changing or so. There are similar problems with Transylvania. What is definitely missing in the Wikipedia and in the entire internet is a page that would exactly say for the 1000 years: from the year X to the year Y this territory was in this relation to the Hungarian crown and this border region was part of Hungary proper from X to Y and so on. I was desperately trying to find something like that, but without success. And actually I am more confused now about these things than I was before I have written this article...User:Juro 22:12, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC) ==Közép-Szolnok, Belső-Szolnok== I just found a map of the Transylvanian counties before 1876: [http://www.hungarian-history.hu/lib/minor/map2.jpg]. I think you need to check the Szolnoks again, because it's pretty complicated. There is of course the town Szolnok in present Hungary (Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok), the county Közép-Szolnok that became part of Szilágy (together with Kraszna) and the county Belső-Szolnok, that became Szolnok-Doboka (together with Doboka). Közép means central/middle, Belső means inner/interior. User:Markussep 12:54, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC) OK, I know that ... so what is the problem with respect to this particular article? User:Juro 17:16, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC) I don't know if there's a problem, I was just a bit confused about all the Szolnoks, especially the two Szolnokiensis'es around 1074. I found this list of Hungarian counties: [http://mek.oszk.hu/00000/00056/html/102.htm]. I think you'll find the first list (around 1090) interesting, since you indicated that you were not so certain about the counties in those days. I guess your Szolnok II had Doboka as capital? Then probably there was no Kraszna county then, unless it had some other name/capital. And Szolnok I was divided into Kunság and Jászság lateron? User:Markussep 15:03, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC) It is not me who is not certain, it is the sources (by the way, I have allowed for the above web-page too, but note that it shows the 1090s not 1074). As far as I remember the two/three Szolnoks were not among the problematic counties. In most cases, nobody can tell today with certainty which castle was the capital in the 11th century (there are usually virtually no written texts from such a distant period). I guess Szolnok II had Dej as "capital", but I will have to check it. Anyway, Szolnok should have something in common with the Szolnok-Doboka county. And as for Cumania (Kunság) and Iyzygia (Jászság), these were among the various privileged territories, which are always a very complicated case in the Kingdom of Hungary - so I will try to find something but I do not expect to succeed. I can assure you, however, that I had very similar questions when I was setting up the lists.. User:Juro 22:04, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC) Hey, I didn't order any hungarian beer. I don't even like it.

Also, after 1606 there were the following captaincies-general: *Upper Hungary (eastern Slovakia and adjacent northeastern present-day Hungary and Carpathian Ruthenia, created 1563) *Cis-Danubia and the Mining Captaincy (western and central Slovakia, created 1563) *Between the Danube and the Balaton (Burgenland and northwestern present-day Hungary) *Between the Balaton and the Drava (present-day border region of Austria, Slovenia, Hungary) *Croatia (western Croatia) *Vend === Counties (17th - 18th century) === Note that many of the counties ceased to exist during the Ottoman Empire occupation (app. 1541 - 1699/1718). For administrative divisions on the Turkish territory see Ottoman Empire. After the defeat of the Turks (around 1700) there were some 70 counties in the whole Kingdom of Hungary again. After the final defeat of the Turks in 1718, the three southern counties Temes, Torontál and Krassó created the special administrative district ''Banatus Temesiensis'' (Hungarian: ''Temesi Bánság''). This district was dissolved again in 1779, but its southermost part remained part of the Military Frontier (Confiniaria militaria) till the late 19th century. The following list does not show Transylvania. The "districtus" is only a traditional formal division. Note that some of the previous counties, e. g. the Zarandiensis, were part of Transylvania at this time. (a) Districtus Cis-Danubianus (13): *Orava (county) *Bács *Tekov *Hont *Liptov *Nitra county *Nógrád (county) *Pest (county) *Bratislava county *Esztergom county *Trencin county *Turiec *Zvolen county (b) Districtus Trans-Danubianus (11): *Fejér *Baranya *Vas *Komárom county *Gyor (county) *Moson, *Somogy *Sopron (county) *Tolna (county) *Veszprém (county) *Zala (c) Districtus Cis-Tybiscanus (10): *Abov *Bereg (county) *Borsod *Gemer *Heves és Közép-Szolnok *Saris *Spis *Turna *Ung *Zemplin (d) Districtus Trans-Tibiscanus (12): *Arad (Hungarian county) *Békés (county) *Bihar (county) *Csanád *Csongrád (county) *Krassó *Máramaros *Szabolcs *Szatmár *Temes *Torontál *Ugocsa (e) Counties between the Drava and Sava (after the defeat of the Turks around 1700, they were considered part of Croatia-Slavonia): *Pozsega *Szerém *Veroce/Valko === Free districts (Circuli/Districtus liberi)=== These were priviledged territories, which were totally exempt from the county system. It is possible that there were more of them, but only the following are known: * Districtus Jazygum et Cumanum (Hungarian: Jászkunság / Jászkun kerület) * Spis -since 1772, before 1772 the towns were pawned to Poland and had another special status * Oppida privilegiata Hajdonicalia (Hungarian: Hajdúság) - since the 17th century === Free royal towns and the mining towns (Liberae regiae civitate et civitates montanae)=== Their number was changing == Temporary administrative divisions (1785-1790) == The Kingdom of Hungary, including Croatia and Slavonia, was divided into 10 military/administrative districts: *Nitra *Banská Bystrica *Kosice *Mukacheve *Gyor *Pest (county) *? *? *? *? Each district consisted of 4 to 7 counties, whose borders were changed in 1786. In 1790, the pre-1785 system was restored. == After the Revolution of 1848 == For details see Comitatus (Kingdom of Hungary) ===1849-1860 === During this period, Croatia, Slavonia, the Military Frontier, Voivodina (''Szerb vajdaság'') and the Banatus Temesiensis (''temesi bánság'') were separated from the Kingdom of Hungary and directly subordinated to Vienna (Austria). The remaining territory of the Kingdom of Hungary (which did not include Transylvania at that time) was divided into 5 Districts: *Bratislava *Kosice *Sopron *Pest (city)-Buda *Oradea These Districts were divided into counties, whose traditional territories however were modified in 1850 and 1853. === 1860-1867=== In October 1860, the Districts were abolished and the pre-1848 counties were restored. == 1867 - 1918== Since 1867 the administrative and political divisions of the Kingdom of Hungary (Kingdom of Hungary) have been in great measure remodelled. In 1868 Transylvania was definitely reunited to Hungary proper, and the town and district of Rijeka (Fiume) declared autonomous. In 1873 part of the Military Frontier was united with Hungary proper and part with Croatia-Slavonia. Hungary proper, according to ancient usage, was generally divided into four great divisions or circles, and Transylvania up to 1876 was regarded as the fifth. In 1876 a general system of counties was introduced. According to this division Hungary proper was divided into seven circles, of which Transylvania forms one. The following administrative divisions existed between 1886 and 1918: ===Rural Counties=== In the following, the key in the brackets gives the capital towns around 1910 first (note however that the capitals were usually changing throughout the centuries) and then the abbreviation for the country in which the territory is situated today: #HU = present-day Hungary #SK = present-day Slovakia #UA = present-day Ukraine #AT = present-day Austria #RO = present-day Romania #HR = present-day Croatia #CS = present-day Serbia and Montenegro #SI = present-day Slovenia #PL = present-day Poland The Kingdom of Hungary was divided into the following 71 counties: ====Hungary proper ==== (a) The circle on the left bank of the Danube contained eleven counties: #Orava (county) (Dolny Kubin, SK, PL) #Tekov (Zlate Moravce, SK) #Esztergom county (Esztergom, SK, HU) #Hont (Sahy, SK, HU) #Liptov (Liptovsky Mikulas, SK) #Nógrád (county) (Balassagyarmat, SK, HU) #Nitra county (Nitra, SK) #Bratislava county (Bratislava, SK) #Trencin county (Trencin, SK) #Turiec (Martin, Slovakia, SK) #Zvolen county (Banska Bystrica, SK) (b) The circle on the right bank of the Danube contained eleven counties : #Baranya (Pécs, HU, HR) #Fejér (Székesfehérvár, HU) #Györ (county) (Györ, HU) #Komárom county (Komarno, SK, HU) #Moson (Mosonmagyaróvár, HU, AT, SK) #Somogy (Kaposvár, HU) #Sopron (county) (Sopron, HU, AT) #Tolna (county) (Szekszárd, HU) #Vas (Szombathely, HU, AT, SI) #Veszprém (county) (Veszprém, HU) #Zala (Zalaegerszeg, HU, HR, SI) (c) The circle between the Danube and Tisza contained five counties: #Bács-Bodrog (Sombor, HU, CS) #Csongrád (county) (Szentes, HU) #Heves (county) (Eger, HU) #Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok (Szolnok, HU) #Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kiskun (Budapest, HU) (d) The circle on the right bank of the Tisza contained eight counties: #Abov (Kosice, SK, HU) #Bereg (county) (Berehove, UA, HU) #Borsod (Miskolc, HU) #Gemer (Rimavska Sobota, SK, HU) #Saris (Presov, SK) #Spis (Levoca, SK, PL) #Ung (Uzhhorod, SK, UA) #Zemplin (Sátoraljaújhely, SK, HU) (e) The circle on the left bank of the Tisza contained eight counties: #Békés (county) (Gyula, HU) #Bihar (county) (Oradea, RO, HU) #Hajdú (Debrecen, HU) #Közép-Szolnok (RO) Note: In 1876 the counties of Kraszna (county) and Közép-Szolnok were united to form Szilágy. #Kraszna (county) (RO) #Máramaros (Sighetu Marmatiei, UA, RO) #Szabolcs (Nyíregyháza, HU) #Szatmár (Carei, RO, HU) #Szilágy (Zalau, RO) #Ugocsa (Vynohradiv, UA, RO) (f) The circle between the Tisza and the Mures river contained five counties: #Arad (Hungarian county) (Arad, Romania, RO, HU) #Csanád (Makó, HU, RO) #Krassó-Szörény (Lugoj, RO) #Temes (Timisoara, RO, CS) #Torontál (Zrenjanin, CS, RO, HU) (g) Transylvania contained fifteen counties (all in present-day Romania): #Alsó-Fehér (Aiud) #Beszterce-Naszód (Bistrita) #Brassó (Brasov) #Csík (Miercurea Ciuc) #Fogaras (Fagaras) #Háromszék (Sfantu Gheorghe) #Hunyad (Deva) #Kis-Küküllö (Tarnaveni) #Kolozs (Cluj-Napoca) #Maros-Torda (Targu Mures) #Nagy-Küküllö (Sighisoara) #Szeben (Sibiu) #Szolnok-Doboka (Dej) #Torda-Aranyos (Turda) #Udvarhely (Odorheiu Secuiesc) ====Croatia-Slavonia==== Croatia-Slavonia was divided into eight counties (all, except for most of Szerém, in present-day Croatia): #Belovár-Körös (Bjelovar, HR) #Lika-Krbava (Gospic, HR) #Modrus-Fiume (Ogulin, HR) #Pozsega (Pozega, HR) #Szerém (Vukovar, HR, CS) #Varasd (Varazdin, HR) #Veroce (Osijek, HR) #Zágráb (Zagreb, HR) ===Towns with municipal rights=== The following 30 Hungarian towns had municipal rights: ====Hungary proper==== Hungary proper had twenty-six urban counties or towns with municipal rights.

Administrative divisions of the Kingdom of Hungary
''See also: Talk:List of historic counties of Hungary'' ==15th century counties in .hr== It somehow doesn't make sense to call Križevci, Dubica, Vrbas, Sana, Varaždin, Virovitica and Zagreb "Slavonia" when at the same time have Vukovar, Szerem and Požega are in Hungary proper. Juro, are you sure you copied this correctly? --User:Joy 21:05, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC) I made the greatest efforts to copy this correctly. The problem is that parts of later Croatia-Slavonia were part of Hungary (apparently those in eastern Slavonia) and others not and this seem to have been constantly changing or so. There are similar problems with Transylvania. What is definitely missing in the Wikipedia and in the entire internet is a page that would exactly say for the 1000 years: from the year X to the year Y this territory was in this relation to the Hungarian crown and this border region was part of Hungary proper from X to Y and so on. I was desperately trying to find something like that, but without success. And actually I am more confused now about these things than I was before I have written this article...User:Juro 22:12, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC) ==Közép-Szolnok, Belső-Szolnok== I just found a map of the Transylvanian counties before 1876: [http://www.hungarian-history.hu/lib/minor/map2.jpg]. I think you need to check the Szolnoks again, because it's pretty complicated. There is of course the town Szolnok in present Hungary (Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok), the county Közép-Szolnok that became part of Szilágy (together with Kraszna) and the county Belső-Szolnok, that became Szolnok-Doboka (together with Doboka). Közép means central/middle, Belső means inner/interior. User:Markussep 12:54, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC) OK, I know that ... so what is the problem with respect to this particular article? User:Juro 17:16, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC) I don't know if there's a problem, I was just a bit confused about all the Szolnoks, especially the two Szolnokiensis'es around 1074. I found this list of Hungarian counties: [http://mek.oszk.hu/00000/00056/html/102.htm]. I think you'll find the first list (around 1090) interesting, since you indicated that you were not so certain about the counties in those days. I guess your Szolnok II had Doboka as capital? Then probably there was no Kraszna county then, unless it had some other name/capital. And Szolnok I was divided into Kunság and Jászság lateron? User:Markussep 15:03, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC) It is not me who is not certain, it is the sources (by the way, I have allowed for the above web-page too, but note that it shows the 1090s not 1074). As far as I remember the two/three Szolnoks were not among the problematic counties. In most cases, nobody can tell today with certainty which castle was the capital in the 11th century (there are usually virtually no written texts from such a distant period). I guess Szolnok II had Dej as "capital", but I will have to check it. Anyway, Szolnok should have something in common with the Szolnok-Doboka county. And as for Cumania (Kunság) and Iyzygia (Jászság), these were among the various privileged territories, which are always a very complicated case in the Kingdom of Hungary - so I will try to find something but I do not expect to succeed. I can assure you, however, that I had very similar questions when I was setting up the lists.. User:Juro 22:04, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC) Hey, I didn't order any hungarian beer. I don't even like it.
