The county bordered on the counties Eisenburg (Vas) , Ödenburg (Sopron) , Raab (Győr) , Komorn (Komárom) , Weißenburg (Fejér) , Tolna , Somogy and Zala . It stretched around the Bakony Forest and the northeast end of Lake Balaton . Today the area is located in western central Hungary on the area of Veszprém county , but was somewhat smaller than this.

history

The county was established in the 11th century and existed in this form until the major county reform in 1950. Only the town of Siófok was detached from Somogy county in 1850 and attached to Veszprém county. In 1950 the place went back to Somogy County , and the region southeast of Lake Balaton (around Enying ) went to Fejér County . Instead, the area west of Pápa , which had previously belonged to Vas County , and the northern shore of Lake Balaton were added to the County. See also under Veszprém County .
