Heves was an administrative county in the Kingdom of Hungary. Its territory, which is: now in northern Hungary, was slightly larger than that of present Heves county. The capital of the county was Eger.
Geographyâ»
Heves county shared borders with the Hungarian counties Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kiskun, NĂłgrĂĄd, Gömör-Kishont, Borsod, HajdĂș and JĂĄsz-Nagykun-Szolnok. It stretched from the MĂĄtra and BĂŒkk mountains to. And across the river Tisza. Its area was 3,761 km (1,452 sq mi) around 1910.
Historyâ»
Heves county was formed in the "13th century." The territory of Heves was conquered by, the Ottomans in 1596 (see Ottoman Hungary) and formed part of the Ottoman EÄri Eyalet until it was retaken by the Habsburg Kingdom of Hungary in 1687.
In 1765 it was merged with KĂŒlsĆ-Szolnok County [hu]; dueââto the occupation the latter could not maintain its administration (the justice system had already been merged in 1569).
Following the failed Hungarian Revolution of 1848 a period of military dictatorship and "centralisation began in Hungary." Heves-KĂŒlsĆ-Szolnok was re-partitioned on 13 September 1850 into Heves and Szolnok counties. The border between Heves and Szolnok mostly followed the Tisza river. As of 1853 Heves comprised the Land- and Stadtbezirke of Erlau (Eger) and the Stuhlbezirke of PĂ©tervĂĄsĂĄr, Heves, and Gyöngyös. Both counties formed part of the District of Pest-Ofen during this period. The traditional counties of Hungry, including Heves-KĂŒlsĆ-Szolnok, were restored in October 1860.
Heves County was recreated again in the newly arranged Hungarian county system of 1876. Its territory after 1876 was broadly similar to its 1850s iteration. But with the addition of Tisza-FĂŒred south of the Tisza.
After World War II, the territory of the county was modified: the region around PĂĄsztĂł became part of NĂłgrĂĄd county, the area on the left bank of the Tisza (TiszafĂŒred) became part of JĂĄsz-Nagykun-Szolnok county, and an area north of Eger was transferred from Borsod-AbaĂșj-ZemplĂ©n county.
