Its territory is currently in south-western [[Romania]] and northern [[Serbia]] (eastern [[Vojvodina]]). The capital of the county was [[Timişoara]] ([[Hungarian language|Hungarian]]: Temesvár, [[Serbian language|Serbian]]: Temišvar). ==Geography== Temes county was located in the [[Banat]] region. It shared borders with the [[Kingdom of Serbia]] and the Hungarian counties of [[Torontál]], [[Arad (Hungarian county)|Arad]] and [[Krassó-Szörény]]. The river [[Danube]] formed its southern border, and the river [[Mureş River|Mureş]] (Hungarian: Maros, Serbian: Moriš) its northern border. The river [[Timiş River|Timiş]] flowed through the county. Its area in 1910 was 7,433 [[square kilometer|km²]]. ==History== Temes County was formed in the 11th century. The county was taken by the [[Ottoman Empire]] in the 16th century, and was included into the Ottoman [[Temeşvar Province, Ottoman Empire|Province of Temeşvar]]. After the [[Banat]] was captured by the [[Habsburg Monarchy|Habsburgs]] in 1718, the area of the county was included into the [[Banat of Temeswar]], a separate Habsburg province. This province was abolished in 1778, and the area of the county was incorporated into Habsburg [[Kingdom of Hungary]]. Between 1849 and 1860 the area of the county was part of [[Voivodship of Serbia and Tamiš Banat]], a separate [[Austrian Empire|Austrian]] crown land. Temes County was re-established in the 1860s, when the area was incorporated into the [[Kingdom of Hungary]]. In 1918, the county first became part of the newly formed [[Banat Republic]], and then was divided between [[Romania]] and the also newly formed [[Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes]], which was confirmed by the [[Treaty of Trianon]] of 1920. A majority of the county was assigned to Romania, while the south-western third was assigned to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (renamed to [[Yugoslavia]] in 1929). The Yugoslav part of the pre-1918 Temes County (the southern [[Banat]] region) is currently part of the [[Serbia]]n autonomous region of [[Vojvodina]]. The Romanian part is now part of [[Timiş County]], except a 10 km wide strip along the [[Mureş River]], which is in the [[Romania]]n [[Arad County, Romania|Arad County]]. ==Demographics== According to the census of 1910, the county had 500,835 inhabitants. Population by language (1910 census): *Romanian = 169,030 (33.75%) *German = 165,883 (33.12%) *Hungarian = 79,960 (15.97%) *Serbian = 69,905 (13.96%) *Slovak = 3,080 ==Subdivisions== In the early 20th century, the subdivisions of Temes county were: {| class="wikitable" !colspan=2|Districts (''járás'') |- !
