Coat of arms
Ugocsa was an administrative county (comitatus) of the Kingdom of Hungary. Its territory is now in north-western Romania (1/4) and western Ukraine (3/4). The capital of the county was Nagy-Szőllős (Vynohradiv Ukrainian,Sevlush in Rusyn, Vinogradov in Russian).
Ugocsa county shared borders with the Hungarian counties Máramaros, Szatmár and Bereg. It was situated on both sides of the river Tisza. Its area was 1208 km² around 1910.
In 1920, by the Treaty of Trianon most of the county (including Nagy-Szőllős) became part of newly formed Czechoslovakia. The southern part (including Halmi, Halmeu in Romanian language) became part of Romania except from 1940 until the end of the World War II when it was returned to Hungary by the Second Vienna Award.
In 1938, the western part of the former Czechoslovak part was returned to Hungary by the First Vienna Award and after, in 1939 the rest became part of Hungary when the remainder of Carpathian Ruthenia was annexed after Czechoslovakia ceased to exist. The county Ugocsa was recreated, again with Nagy-Szőllős as capital.
