Geography[edit]


Győr county shared borders with the counties Moson, Pozsony, Komárom, Veszprém and Sopron. The rivers Danube, and Rába run through the county. Its area was 1534 km² around 1910.



History[edit]


The Győr comitatus arose as one of the first comitatus of the Kingdom of Hungary. It was conquered by the Turks in 1541, and again by Habsburg Kingdom of Hungary around 1598.


In 1920 the Treaty of Trianon assigned a very small part of the territory of the county to Czechoslovakia. The rest stayed in Hungary and merged with the eastern part of Moson county and a very small part of Pozsony county to form Győr-Moson-Pozsony county.


After World War II, Győr-Moson-Pozsony county merged with Sopron county to form Győr-Sopron county. This county was renamed to Győr-Moson-Sopron county in the early 1990s. The part of the county north of the river Danube is now in Slovakia, Trnava Region.
