Bereg ( _de. Berg) is the name of a historic administrative county (comitatus) of the Kingdom of Hungary. Its territory is presently in north-eastern Hungary and western Ukraine. The capital of the county was Berehove (Ukrainian, "Beregszász" in Hungarian, "Bergsaß" in German, "Beregovo" in Russian, "Bereg" in Romanian).

Geography

Bereg county shared borders with the Austrian crownland Galicia (currently in Poland and Ukraine) and the Hungarian counties Máramaros, Ugocsa, Szatmár, Szabolcs and Ung. It was situated between the Carpathian Mountains in the north and the river Tisza in the south. Its area was 3788 km² around 1910.

History

Bereg is one of the oldest counties of the Hungary. In 1920 the Treaty of Trianon assigned most of the territory to Czechoslovakia. The southwestern part remained in Hungary (county Szatmár-Ugocsa-Bereg).

During World War II, when Czechoslovakia was split temporarily, the complete county was occupied by Hungary under the First Vienna Award. The county Bereg was recreated, again with Berehove/Beregszász as capital.

After World War II, the formerly Czechoslovak part of Bereg county became part of the Soviet Union, Ukrainian SSR, Zakarpattia Oblast. Since 1991, when the Soviet Union split up, the Zakarpattya region is part of Ukraine.

The south-western part of the county, that was in Hungary before World War II, became part of the Hungarian county Szabolcs-Szatmár. This county was renamed Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg in the 1990s.
