The Satu Mare County ( Hungarian vármegye Szatmár , Latin comitatus Szathmariensis ) was an administrative unit (County / County) in the Kingdom of Hungary . Today the smaller part (about 1/4 of the area) lies in northeast Hungary , the larger part (about 3/4 of the area) in northwest Romania (in today's Satu Mare County ). A small part around the place Welyka Palad (then Hungarian Nagypalád ) belongs to Ukraine (in the Zakarpattia Oblast ) today .
location
The county was bordered by Bereg County to the north, Ugocsa County to the northeast , Máramaros County to the east, Szolnok-Doboka County to the south-east , Bihar and Szilágy Counties to the south, and Szabolcs County to the west .
It was south of the Tisza and was traversed by the Samosh (now Someș in Romanian ). In 1910 it had 396,600 inhabitants on an area of 6,287 km².
history
The county was part of the Kingdom of Hungary until 1918 and was then divided between Hungary and Romania (incorporated into the Satu Mare County ). In 1921 a small part of the Welyka Palad came to the newly formed Czechoslovakia (as part of the Carpathian Ukraine ) through an area swap . The part that remained with Hungary was combined with the neighboring rump counties to form Szatmár-Ugocsa-Bereg County . From this came the Szabolcs-Szatmár County in 1950 , which was renamed the Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County in 1990 .
As a result of the Second Vienna Arbitration Award , the area came back to Hungary in 1940 , and the county was re-established with the capital Nagykároly . After the end of the Second World War, the pre-war state was restored, but the small Czechoslovak part became part of the Soviet Union (more precisely the Ukrainian SSR ). Since 1991 this part has been part of the now independent Ukraine (here in the Transcarpathian Oblast ).
