Coat of arms
Fejér (in Latin: comitatus Albensis) was an administrative county (comitatus) of the Kingdom of Hungary. Its territory, which was slightly smaller than that of present Fejér county, is now in central Hungary. The capital of the county was Székesfehérvár.
Fejér county shared borders with the Hungarian counties Veszprém, Komárom, Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kiskun and Tolna. It lay southwest of Budapest, around Székesfehérvár. The river Danube formed most of its eastern border. Its area was 4129 km2 around 1910.
Fejér county arose as one of the first comitatus of the Kingdom of Hungary, in the 11th century. The Solt region, east of the Danube river, which used to be part of Fejér county, went to Pest-Pilis-Solt county in the 17th century.
After World War II, the region south-east of Lake Balaton (around Enying), which used to be in Veszprém county, went to Fejér county. The city of Érd and its surroundings went to Pest county.
