Satu Mare County, Administrative division in northwestern Romania.

Satu Mare County spans 4,418 square kilometers with a varied landscape of mountains, hills, and plains along the borders of Hungary and Ukraine.

The county establishment dates back to 1925, following territorial changes after World War I when the region transferred from Austria-Hungary to Romanian administration.

The population includes Romanian, Hungarian, Roma, and German communities, each maintaining their languages, traditional clothing, music, and local festivals.

The county contains 56 municipalities including 4 cities and 52 communes, with transportation networks connecting to major Romanian cities and neighboring countries.

The Oaș Mountains in the northern part represent 17 percent of the territory, creating a natural border with geological formations and mineral springs.
