Coat of arms

Háromszék (Three Chairs; Romanian: Trei Scaune) was an administrative county (comitatus) of the Kingdom of Hungary. Situated in south-eastern Transylvania, its territory is now in central Romania (in the counties of Covasna, Brașov and Bacău). The capital of the county was Sepsiszentgyörgy (now Sfântu Gheorghe).

Háromszék county shared borders with Romania and the Hungarian counties Csík, Udvarhely, Nagy-Küküllő and Brassó. The river Olt flowed through the county. The Carpathian Mountains form its southern and eastern border. Its area was 3889 km² around 1910.

Háromszék means "three seats". The Háromszék region was a combination of three settlements (seats) of the Székelys: Kézdiszék, Orbaiszék and Sepsiszék. Háromszék county was formed in 1876, when the administrative structure of Transylvania was changed. In 1920, by the Treaty of Trianon the county became part of Romania, then after the Second Vienna Award became again part of Hungary until the Paris Peace Treaties, 1947. Its territory lies in the present Romanian counties Covasna and Braşov (a small part in the south).
