It lay on the left side of the Tisza and was completely flat, fertile and in the north-western part bordered by the Tisza in places swampy. In the west of Debreczin ( Debrecen in Hungarian ) lies the formerly very fertile Puszta Hortobágy .

The county was created during the administrative reform in Hungary in 1876 from parts of the Szabolcs and Bihar counties , which were merged with the Heiducken district .

In 1918 it became the now smaller Hungary and existed in this form until 1950 with small changes in area, after which it was combined with the remnants of Bihar County to form Hajdú-Bihar County .
