AbaújTorna

Abaúj-Torna, also known as Abaúj-Torna vármegye, was a historic county (vármegye) in the Kingdom of Hungary, formed in the 18th century by merging the independent Abaúj and Torna counties. It existed as an administrative unit until the post-World War I reorganization under the Treaty of Trianon in 1920, when the territory was divided between Hungary and Czechoslovakia (the latter taking parts that are now in eastern Slovakia). Its boundaries shifted over time due to administrative reforms, but it was generally located in the northeastern part of the historical kingdom, in areas that correspond to parts of present-day northeastern Hungary. The region encompassed varied terrain including river valleys and upland areas, with agriculture and forestry as key economic activities. At various periods the county seat changed, and several towns served as administrative centers; the area also included small crafts, trade, and, in some parts, viticulture in nearby wine regions.

In culture and heritage, the county contained historical sites such as castles, churches, and traditional wooden houses typical of the region, reflecting a mixed rural Hungarian heritage with influences from neighboring cultures. After 1920, the modern administrative boundaries largely moved away from the historic county, but the name Abaúj-Torna remains used in historical and geographical contexts to denote this former region.
