The existence of many of them is disputed for this time period.Counties[edit]Frontier counties[edit]The following castles are assumed to have been seats of frontier counties (marchiae, hat\u00e1risp\u00e1ns\u00e1gok), 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), Tren\u010d\u00edn (at that time: Treinchen), Beckov (at that time: Blundus), Nitra (at that time: Nitria), \u0160intava (at that time: Sempte), Gemer Castle (at that time: Gomur), Zemplin Castle (at that time: Zemn\u011bn, Zemlyn)in present-day Ukraine: Uzhhorod (Ungv\u00e1r), Borsovain present-day Hungary: Moson Castle, Sopron, Novum Castrum (Hungarian at that time: \u00dajv\u00e1r), Borsod Castle, Vasv\u00e1r, Karak\u00f3 (near J\u00e1nosh\u00e1za), Zalav\u00e1r (called Kolon at that time)present-day Romania: Dobaca (Hungarian: Doboka), Alba Iulia (Hungarian: Gyulafeh\u00e9rv\u00e1r), Cluj-Napoca (Hungarian: Kolozsv\u00e1r), Satu Mare (Hungarian: Szatm\u00e1rn\u00e9meti), Timi\u0219oara (Hungarian: Temesv\u00e1r), Turda (Hungarian: Torda)present-day Croatia: Vukovar (Hungarian: Valk\u00f3v\u00e1r)present-day Serbia: Belgrade (Hungarian at that time: Feh\u00e9rv\u00e1r), Stara Palanka (Hungarian: Haram (Krass\u00f3)), Kovin (Hungarian: K\u00e9ve)15th century[edit]In the late 14th and in the 15th century there were around 70 counties, out of which 7(?) under the voivodship of Transylvania (in present-day Romania), 7 under the banate of Slavonia (mainly in present-day Slavonia and Croatia), and the rest forming Hungary proper (mainly present-day Hungary and Slovakia, with 10 counties entirely and 11 partially in present-day Slovakia.  Counties[edit]Hungary proper[edit]Transylvania[edit]Special status[edit]Hungary proper[edit]Transylvania[edit]Free royal towns and the mining towns (Liberae regiae civitate et civitates montanae)[edit]Their number was changing (the mining towns were largely situated in the Upper Lands \u2013 present-day Slovakia)16th\u201318th centuries[edit]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 Royal Hungary and ruled by the Habsburgs.Captaincies (1547 \u2013 1699)[edit]  Map of captaincies of Royal Hungary in 1572In 1547, Royal Hungary was divided for military and partly also administrative purposes in two captaincies-general (Hungarian: f\u0151kapit\u00e1nys\u00e1gok,  Slovak: hlavn\u00e9 kapitan\u00e1ty):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:Counties (1699 – 1848)[edit]Note that many of the counties ceased to exist during the Turkish occupation (app. 1541 \u2013 1699\/1718). For administrative divisions on the Turkish territory see Ottoman Empire.After the defeat of the Turks 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 Temesiensis, Torontaliensis and Krassovinsis created the special administrative district Banatus Temesiensis (Hungarian: Temesi B\u00e1ns\u00e1g). This district was dissolved again in 1779, but its southernmost 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):(b) Districtus Trans-Danubianus (11):(c) Districtus Cis-Tybiscanus (10):(d) Districtus Trans-Tibiscanus (12):(e) Counties between the Drava and Sava (after the defeat of the Turks around 1700, they were considered part of Croatia-Slavonia):Free districts (Circuli\/Districtus liberi)[edit]These were privileged territories, which were totally exempt from the county system.Free royal towns and the mining towns (Liberae regiae civitate et civitates montanae)[edit]Their number was changingAfter the 1848\/1849 Revolution[edit]For details see Comitatus (Kingdom of Hungary)1849\u20131860[edit]  During this period, the Kingdom of Croatia (with Me\u0111imurje), Kingdom of Slavonia, and the Voivodeship of Serbia and Banatus Temesiensis (Szerb vajdas\u00e1g \u00e9s Temesi b\u00e1ns\u00e1g) 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. These Districts were divided into counties, whose traditional territories were modified in 1850 and 1853; several of the traditional counties were merged or partitioned. The official language during this period was German. The districts and counties were:[1]Pest-Ofen[a]Pest-Pilis.[a] The northern part of the former Pest-Pilis-Solt County, including all of the former county of Pilis.[b]Pest-Solt.[a] The southern part of Pest-Pilis-Solt, including all of the former region of Solt.[c]Stuhlwei\u00dfenburg (Sz\u00e9kesfeh\u00e9rv\u00e1r; former Fej\u00e9r County under the name of its capital Stuhlwei\u00dfenburg)Gran (Esztergom).

In 1868 Transylvania was definitely reunited with Hungary proper, and the town and district of Fiume (Rijeka) 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 statistical regions having no administrative functions, of which Transylvania formed one.The following administrative divisions existed between 1886 and 1920:Rural counties[edit]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:The Kingdom of Hungary was divided into the following 71 counties:Hungary proper[edit](a) On the left bank of the Danube:\u00c1rva County (Als\u00f3kubin, SK, PL)Bars County (Aranyosmar\u00f3t, SK)Esztergom County (Esztergom, SK, HU)Hont County (Ipolys\u00e1g, SK, HU)Lipt\u00f3 County (Lipt\u00f3szentmikl\u00f3s, SK)N\u00f3gr\u00e1d County (Balassagyarmat, SK, HU)Nyitra County (Nyitra, SK)Pozsony County (Pozsony, SK, HU)Trencs\u00e9n County (Trencs\u00e9n, SK)Tur\u00f3c County (Tur\u00f3cszentm\u00e1rton, SK)Z\u00f3lyom County (Beszterceb\u00e1nya, SK)(b) On the right bank of the Danube:Baranya County (P\u00e9cs, HU, HR)Fej\u00e9r County (Sz\u00e9kesfeh\u00e9rv\u00e1r, HU)Gy\u0151r County (Gy\u0151r, HU, SK)Kom\u00e1rom County (Kom\u00e1rom, SK, HU)Moson County (Mosonmagyar\u00f3v\u00e1r, HU, AT, SK)Somogy County (Kaposv\u00e1r, HU)Sopron County (Sopron, HU, AT)Tolna County (Szeksz\u00e1rd, HU)Vas County (Szombathely, HU, AT, SI)Veszpr\u00e9m County (Veszpr\u00e9m, HU)Zala County (Zalaegerszeg, HU, HR, SI)(c) Between the Danube and Tisza:B\u00e1cs-Bodrog County (Zombor, HU, SR)Csongr\u00e1d County (Szentes, HU, SR)Heves County (Eger, HU)J\u00e1sz-Nagykun-Szolnok County (Szolnok, HU)Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kiskun County (Budapest, HU)(d) On the right bank of the Tisza:Aba\u00faj-Torna County (Kassa, SK, HU) Note: formed in 1881 from the counties of Aba\u00faj County and Torna County.Bereg County (Beregsz\u00e1sz, UA, HU)Borsod County (Miskolc, HU)G\u00f6m\u00f6r \u00e9s Kis-Hont County (Rimaszombat, SK, HU)S\u00e1ros County (Eperjes, SK)Szepes County (L\u0151cse, SK, PL)Ung County (Ungv\u00e1r, UA, SK, HU)Zempl\u00e9n County (S\u00e1toralja\u00fajhely, SK, HU)(e) On the left bank of the Tisza:B\u00e9k\u00e9s County (Gyula, HU)Bihar County (Nagyv\u00e1rad, RO, HU)Hajd\u00fa County (Debrecen, HU)M\u00e1ramaros County (M\u00e1ramarossziget, UA, RO)Szabolcs County (Ny\u00edregyh\u00e1za, HU, UA)Szatm\u00e1r County (Nagyk\u00e1roly, RO, HU)Szil\u00e1gy County (Zilah, RO)Ugocsa County (Nagysz\u0151ll\u0151s, UA, RO)(f) Between the Tisza and the Maros:Arad County (Arad, RO, HU)Csan\u00e1d County (Mak\u00f3, HU, RO)Krass\u00f3-Sz\u00f6r\u00e9ny County (Lugos, RO) Note: formed in 1880 from the counties of Krass\u00f3 County and Sz\u00f6r\u00e9ny County.Temes County (Temesv\u00e1r, RO, SR)Toront\u00e1l County (Nagybecskerek, SR, RO, HU)(g) Kir\u00e1lyh\u00e1g\u00f3n t\u00fal (i.e. “over the royal pass through the mountains”, roughly equal to Transylvania, all in present-day Romania):Als\u00f3-Feh\u00e9r County (Nagyenyed)Beszterce-Nasz\u00f3d County (Beszterce)Brass\u00f3 County (Brass\u00f3)Cs\u00edk County (Cs\u00edkszereda)Fogaras County (Fogaras)H\u00e1romsz\u00e9k County (Sepsiszentgy\u00f6rgy)Hunyad County (D\u00e9va)Kis-K\u00fck\u00fcll\u0151 County (Dics\u0151szentm\u00e1rton)Kolozs County (Kolozsv\u00e1r)Maros-Torda County (Marosv\u00e1s\u00e1rhely)Nagy-K\u00fck\u00fcll\u0151 County (Segesv\u00e1r)Szeben County (Nagyszeben)Szolnok-Doboka County (D\u00e9s)Torda-Aranyos County (Torda)Udvarhely County (Sz\u00e9kelyudvarhely)Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia[edit]Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia was divided into eight counties (all, except for most of Syrmia, in present-day Croatia):Bjelovar-Kri\u017eevci (Bjelovar, HR)Lika-Krbava (Gospi\u0107, HR)Modru\u0161-Rijeka (Ogulin, HR)Po\u017eega (Po\u017eega, HR)Syrmia (Vukovar, HR, SR)Vara\u017edin (Vara\u017edin, HR)Virovitica (Osijek, HR)Zagreb (Zagreb, HR)Towns with municipal rights[edit]The following 30 Hungarian towns had municipal rights:Hungary proper[edit]Hungary proper had twenty-six urban counties or towns with municipal rights.These were:Croatia-Slavonia[edit]In Croatia-Slavonia there were four urban counties or towns with municipal rights namely:Fiume (Rijeka)[edit]The town and district of Fiume (Rijeka) formed a separate division.
