Csík county shared borders with Kingdom of Romania and the Hungarian counties Beszterce-Naszód, Maros-Torda, Udvarhely and Háromszék. The county was situated in the Carpathian Mountains, around the sources and upper courses of the rivers Olt and Mureş. Its area was 4859 km² around 1910.
In 1891, the county had 114,110 inhabitants, according to ethnicity:
The Csík region was a combination of three settlements (seats) of the Székely: Csíkszék, Gyergyószék and Kászonszék. Csík county was formed in 1876, when the administrative structure of Transylvania was changed. In 1920 the Treaty of Trianon assigned the territory of Csík county to the Kingdom of Romania. It returned to Hungary with the Second Vienna Award of 1940, but was given again to Romania at the end of World War II. Its territory lies in the present-day Romanian counties Harghita and Neamţ (a small part in the north-east).
