Zágráb county shared borders with the Austrian lands Styria, Carniola and Bosnia-Herzegovina and the Hungarian counties Varasd, Belovár-Körös, Pozsega and Modrus-Fiume (all in Croatia-Slavonia). The river Sava flows through the county. Its area was 7210 km² around 1910.

[edit] History

The territory of Zágráb county, like the rest of Croatia, became part of the Kingdom of Hungary in the 12th century, and within it part of the Habsburg Monarchy in 1526.

In 1918 (confirmed by the Treaty of Trianon 1920), the county became part of the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (Yugoslavia). Since 1991, when Croatia became independent from Yugoslavia, the county is part of the Republic of Croatia.
