Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County, Administrative county in Northern Great Plain, Hungary

The territory encompasses 5,582 square kilometers of central Hungary, featuring the Tisza River flowing through fertile agricultural lands and nine administrative districts.

The county formed in 1876 from parts of Heves-Külső-Szolnok County, incorporating regions inhabited by Jassic people who migrated from Pontic steppes in the 13th century.

The county name combines three distinct regional identities: the Jász people, the Kun ethnic group, and the Szolnok administrative territory.

The region maintains 1,330 kilometers of public roads and 503 kilometers of railway lines, connecting major cities like Szolnok, Jászberény, and Karcag.

The county contains over 150 thermal springs discovered during petroleum exploration, with waters in Berekfürdő and Cserkeszőlő containing high levels of iodine.
