Durrës County, Administrative division in central Albania.

Located along the Adriatic Sea, Durrës County spans 766 square kilometers of land, encompassing coastal plains and the eastern Skanderbeg Mountains.

The central city of Durrës dates back to the 7th century BC when Greek colonists from Corinth established a settlement named Epidamnos.

The county maintains three municipalities with sixteen administrative units, where Albanian remains the primary language for 99.5 percent of the population.

The Port of Durrës processes over 3.4 million tonnes of cargo annually, making it the tenth largest cargo port on the Adriatic Sea.

The region contains Mount Krujë and the Ishëm River, which flows from the Skanderbeg Mountains through the county into the Adriatic Sea.
