Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County, Administrative county in northeastern Hungary.
Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg is a county in northeastern Hungary that covers a large territory divided into multiple districts with Nyíregyháza as its administrative hub. The landscape features farmland, small towns, and villages woven together across the region.
The region took its current shape in 1950 following a major reorganization that reshaped boundaries in response to changes after World War II. This redrawing of borders reflected broader shifts in the political landscape of the era.
Agricultural practices have shaped how people here live and work for generations, with farming communities still central to daily life. The land itself tells the story of what matters most to the residents.
The county connects to neighboring countries through road and rail routes, making travel straightforward for those crossing borders or moving through the region. Since much of the area is rural, travelers should plan accordingly as facilities spread out across smaller towns and villages.
The Tisza River runs along the northern border and nourishes the soil, supporting extensive fruit growing that has been central to the local economy for many generations. Plums from this area remain particularly well-known among Hungarian produce.
