history
The then Alsólendva was until 1918 the administrative seat of the eponymous chair district (Hungarian járás ) in the Hungarian county of Zala . The capital of the county was Zalaegerszeg , which is now a twin town of Lendava. After the collapse of Austria-Hungary , the so-called Mur Island (the area around Lendava and today's Croatian Međimurje County ) was occupied in 1919 by troops from the newly established Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes . The Treaty of Trianon in 1920 denied Hungary the area and thus prevented attempts by the population to reintegrate.
