Elbasan County, Administrative division in central Albania.
The county spans 3,199 square kilometers across seven municipalities, including Belsh, Cërrik, Elbasan, Gramsh, Librazhd, Peqin, and Prrenjas in the central region of Albania.
The region functioned as a strategic point during the Ottoman Empire, with its administrative structure evolving from separate vilayets to a unified prefecture after Albania's independence in 1912.
The population of 232,580 residents maintains Albanian traditions, with 64 percent identifying as Muslim while other religious groups include Orthodox Christians and Catholics.
The county connects to other major Albanian cities through an established network of buses and local transportation, with the administrative center located in Elbasan city.
The territory underwent a significant administrative reorganization in 2015, transforming from numerous smaller municipalities into seven larger administrative units for improved governance efficiency.
