These traditional regions of Slovakia are mostly former counties of the Kingdom of Hungary, of which present-day Slovakia was part until 1918, but some other historical regions are also listed. See History of Slovakia.
Counties
There were 20 (earlier 21) counties of the Kingdom of Hungary situated completely or partly in present-day Slovakia. After the creation of Czechoslovakia, they continued to exist until 1922. Most are still referred to informally.
