Syrmia County (Croatian: Srijemska županija; Serbian: Sremska županija/Сремска жупанија; Hungarian: Szerém vármegye; German: Komitat Syrmien) was a historic administrative subdivision (županija) of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia, Kingdom of Hungary, Austria-Hungary. Croatia-Slavonia was an autonomous kingdom within the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen (Transleithania), the Hungarian part of the dual Austro-Hungarian Empire. The territory of the County is currently in eastern Croatia (smaller western part) and north-western Serbia (larger eastern part). The name Syrmia (Serbian: Srem, Croatian: Srijem) is still used for the corresponding regions in Croatia and Serbia. The capital of the county was Vukovar (Croatian, in Hungarian: Vukovár).
