Geography[edit]


Moson county shared borders with the Austrian land Lower Austria and the Hungarian counties Pozsony, Győr and Sopron. The river Danube runs along the north of the county, and the Lake Neusiedl (Hungarian: Fertő tó) lies partly in the county. Its area was 2013 km² around 1910.



Capitals[edit]


The capital of the county was the town of Moson initially. The capital was moved to nearby Magyaróvár in the Middle Ages. Moson and Magyaróvár merged in 1939 to form the city of Mosonmagyaróvár.



History[edit]


The Moson comitatus arose as one of the first comitati of the Kingdom of Hungary.


In 1920 by the Treaty of Trianon a tiny part of Moson county close to Bratislava (Pozsony, Pressburg) became part of newly formed Czechoslovakia. The eastern part stayed in Hungary and merged with Győr county and a very small part of Pozsony county to form Győr-Moson-Pozsony county. The western part became part of the new Austrian land Burgenland.


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.
