The following lists show the administrative divisions of the [[Kingdom of Hungary|lands belonging to the Hungarian crown]] (1000 -1918) at selected points of time. The names are given in the main official language used in the Kingdom at the times in question.
For details on the functioning and development of the counties and some other administrative divisions see [[Comitatus (Kingdom of Hungary)]].

== Notes ==
This article does not show all states of administrative divisions that existed throughout the centuries, only the major ones. Especially for the [[Middle Ages|medieval]] period, various sources often give slightly different divisions. Also, the lists of the individual points of time stem from different sources so that the first-level categorization is not necessarily compatible over time.
It is also important to bear in mind that it is more correct to translate the Hungarian counties as "comitatuses", because they were completely different from territories of British [[count]]s or German [[Graf]].
== Around 1074 ==
Around 1074, the whole [[Kingdom of Hungary]] consisted of some 45-50 counties. The existence of many of them is disputed for this time period.

== 15th century ==
In the late 14th and in the 15th century there were around 70 counties, out of which 7(?) under the [[voivodship]] of [[Transylvania]] (in present-day Romania), 7 under the [[banate]] of [[Slavonia]] (mainly in present-day [[Slovenia]] and [[Croatia]]), and the rest forming Hungary proper (mainly present-day [[Hungary]] and [[Slovakia]], with 10 counties entirely and 11 partially in present-day Slovakia.

===Free royal towns and the mining towns (Liberae regiae civitate et civitates montanae)===
Their number was changing (the mining towns were largely situated in the Upper Lands)
== 16th-18th century ==
In the 16th century, the Kingdom was so gravely impacted by Ottoman conquest that its territory was reduced to almost a third of its previous size. By [[1541]], the remaining part was renamed [[History of Hungary|Royal Hungary]] and ruled by the [[Habsburg]]s.
=== Captaincies (1547 - around 1700) ===
In [[1547]], [[History of Hungary|Royal Hungary]] was divided for military and partly also administrative purposes in two ''captaincies-general'' (Hungarian: ''főkapitányságok'', Slovak: ''hlavné kapitanáty''):
*Cisdanubia (largely present-day Slovakia)
*Transdanubia (the remaining Royal Hungary).
Later on, these captaincies were further subdivided.
In [[1553]] and [[1578]], southern and southeastern regions were split off into the [[Military Frontier]] and were de facto no longer part of the Kingdom.
Also, after 1606 there were the following captaincies-general:
*Upper Hungary (eastern [[Slovakia]] and adjacent northeastern present-day Hungary and Carpathian Ruthenia, created 1563)
*Cis-Danubia and the Mining Captaincy (western and central Slovakia, created 1563)
*Between the [[Danube]] and the Balaton ([[Burgenland]] and northwestern present-day Hungary)
*Between the Balaton and the Drava (present-day border region of Austria, Slovenia, Hungary)
*Croatia (western [[Croatia]])
*[[Vend]]
=== Counties (17th - 18th century) ===
Note that many of the counties ceased to exist during the [[Ottoman Empire|Turkish]] occupation (app. 1541 - 1699/1718). For administrative divisions on the Turkish territory see [[Ottoman Empire]].
After the defeat of the [[Ottoman Empire|Turks]] (around 1700) there were some 70 counties in the whole [[Kingdom of Hungary]] again. After the final defeat of the Turks in 1718, the three southern counties [[Temes|Temesiensis]], [[Torontál|Torontaliensis]] and [[Krassó|Krassovinsis]] created the special administrative district ''[[Banat of Temesvar|Banatus Temesiensis]]'' (Hungarian: ''Temesi Bánság''). This district was dissolved again in 1779, but its southermost part remained part of the [[Military Frontier]] (Confiniaria militaria) till the late 19th century.
The following list does not show [[Transylvania]]. The "districtus" is only a traditional formal division. Note that some of the previous counties, e. g. the Zarandiensis, were part of Transylvania at this time.
(a) Districtus Cis-Danubianus (13):

*[[Csongrád (former county)|Csongradiensis]]
*[[Krassó|Krassovinsis]]
*[[Máramaros|Maramarosiensis]]
*[[Szabolcs (county)|Szabolcsensis]]
*[[Szatmár|Szathmariensis]]
*[[Temes|Temesiensis]]
*[[Torontál|Torontaliensis]]
*[[Ugocsa|Ugotgensis]]
(e) Counties between the Drava and Sava (after the defeat of the Turks around 1700, they were considered part of Croatia-Slavonia):
*[[Pozsega|Poseganus]]
*[[Szerém (former county)|Sirmiensis]]
*[[Verőce|Verovitiensis]]/[[Valko|Vukovariensis]]
=== Free districts (Circuli/Districtus liberi)===
These were privileged territories, which were totally exempt from the county system. It is possible that there were more of them, but only the following are known:
* [[Districtus Jazygum et Cumanum]] (Hungarian: Jászkunság / Jászkun kerület)
* [[Szepes|Oppida sedecim Scepusiensia]] -since 1772, before 1772 the towns were pawned to Poland and had another special status
* [[Oppida privilegiata Hajdonicalia]] (Hungarian: Hajdúság) - since the 17th century
=== Free royal towns and the mining towns (Liberae regiae civitate et civitates montanae)===
Their number was changing
== Temporary administrative divisions (1785-1790) ==
The Kingdom of Hungary, including Croatia and Slavonia, was divided into 10 military/administrative districts:
*[[Nitra|Neutra]]
*[[Banská Bystrica|Neusohl]]
*[[Košice|Kaschau]]
*[[Mukacheve|Munkatsch]]
*[[Győr|Raab]]
*[[Pest (county)|Pest]]
*Zagreb
*?
*?
*?
Each district consisted of 4 to 7 counties, whose borders were changed in 1786. In 1790, the pre-1785 system was restored.
== After the [[Revolution of 1848|1848/1849 Revolution]] ==
For details see [[Comitatus (Kingdom of Hungary)]]
===1849-1860 ===
[[Image:Hungary1850.png|thumb|250px|Map of the [[Kingdom of Hungary]] in [[1850]], showing the five military districts]]
During this period, [[Kingdom of Croatia]], [[Kingdom of Slavonia]], and the [[Voivodship of Serbia and Tamiš Banat|Voivodship of Serbia and Banatus Temesiensis]] (Szerb vajdaság és Temesi bánság) were separated from the Kingdom of Hungary and directly subordinated to [[Vienna]] (Austria). The remaining territory of the Kingdom of Hungary (which did not include Transylvania at that time) was divided into 5 Districts:
*[[Military District of Preßburg|Preßburg]]
*[[Military District of Kaschau|Kaschau]]
*[[Military District of Ödenburg|Ödenburg]]
*[[Military District of Pest-Ofen|Pest-Ofen]]
*[[Military District of Großwardein|Großwardein]]
These Districts were divided into counties, whose traditional territories however were modified in 1850 and 1853.
=== 1860-1867===
In October 1860, the Districts were abolished and the pre-1848 counties were restored.
== 1867 - 1918==
Since 1867 the administrative and political divisions of the [[Kingdom of Hungary|lands belonging to the Hungarian crown]] (Kingdom of Hungary) have been in great measure remodelled. In 1868 [[Transylvania]] was definitely reunited to Hungary proper, and the town and district of [[Fiume]] ([[Rijeka]]) declared autonomous. In 1873 part of the [[Military Frontier]] was united with Hungary proper and part with Croatia-Slavonia. Hungary proper, according to ancient usage, was generally divided into four great divisions or circles, and Transylvania up to 1876 was regarded as the fifth.
In [[1876]] a general system of counties was introduced. According to this division Hungary proper was divided into seven circles, of which Transylvania forms one.
The following administrative divisions existed between 1886 and 1918:
===Rural Counties===

===[[Fiume]] ([[Rijeka]])===
The town and district of [[Fiume]] ([[Rijeka]]) formed a separate division. It was a subject of dispute between Hungary proper and Croatia-Slavonia and changed hands several times (its desirability as a [[seaport]] caused it to change hands even after the Hungarian-Croatian union eventually broke up).
