The county bordered Bereg County to the north, Máramaros County to the east and Sathmar County ( Szatmár ) to the south .

It lay on both sides of the Tisza and in 1910 had 91,800 inhabitants on an area of ​​1,213 km².

history

The county was part of the Kingdom of Hungary until 1918 and was then largely divided between the newly formed Czechoslovakia (as part of Carpathian Ukraine ) and Romania (incorporated into the Satu Mare district). In Hungary only an uninhabited area of ​​0.1 km² remained in the municipality of Pyjterfolwo ( ung. Tiszapéterfalva), which in 1923 was incorporated into the new Szatmár County , Ugocsa és Bereg .

As a result of the First Vienna Arbitration Award , the area came back to Hungary in 1939 , and the county was re-established with the capital Nagyszőllős . After the end of World War II, the pre-war state was restored, but the Czechoslovak Carpathian Ukraine became part of the Soviet Union (more precisely the Ukrainian SSR ). Since 1991 the northern part has belonged to the independent Ukraine (here in the Transcarpathian Oblast ).
