Beszterce-Naszód was an administrative county (comitatus) of the Kingdom of Hungary. Its territory is now in northern Romania (north-eastern Transylvania). The capital of the county was Beszterce (now Bistrița).
Geography※
Beszterce-Naszód county shared borders with the Kingdom of Romania, Austrian Bukovina and the Hungarian counties of Máramaros, Szolnok-Doboka, Kolozs, Maros-Torda and Csík. Its area was 4,167 km² around 1910.
History※
Beszterce-Naszód county was formed in 1876, when the Saxon district of Bistritz/Bistrița was united with the former Transylvanian Military Frontier district of Năsăud (Romanian Border Regiment II), also joined by parts of the former Doboka and Belső-Szolnok counties. In 1920, the Treaty of Trianon assigned the territory of Beszterce-Naszód county to Romania. In 1940, by the Second Vienna Award, it was returned to Hungary and was expanded with additional territories from the former Kolozs County. After World War II, it became again part of Romania; the territory of the county is now in the (larger) Romanian county Bistrița-Năsăud.
