Sopron County (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sopron (-German: Odenburg) is the name of a historic administrative county (comitatus) of the Kingdom of Hungary in present-day eastern Austria and northwestern Hungary. The capital of the county was Sopron. The Sopron comitatus arose as one of the first comitatus of the Kingdom of Hungary. In 1918 (confirmed by the Treaty of Trianon 1920), the western part of the county became part of the Austrian state of Burgenland, while the eastern part became a part of Hungary. In 1921, it was decided by referendum that the city of Sopron would join Hungary instead of Austria. After World War II, Sopron county merged with Gy r-Moson-Pozsony to form Gy r-Sopron county. This county was renamed to Gy r-Moson-Sopron county in the early 1990s. A small part of Sopron county went to Vas county.
