Pest-pilis-solt-kiskunPest-Pilis-Solt-Kiskun is the name of a historic administrative county (comitatus) of the Kingdom of Hungary. Its territory is presently in central Hungary, comprising the territory of the present Hungarian county Pest and the northern part of present Bcs-Kiskun county. The capital of the county was Budapest. Geography Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kiskun county shared borders with the counties Komrom, Esztergom, Hont, Ngrd, Heves, Jsz-Nagykun-Szolnok, Csongrd, Bcs-Bodrog, Tolna and Fejr. Its territory covered the eastern bank of the river Danube from Visegrd in the north to (excluding) Baja in the south, stretching to the river Tisza in the east. A part of the county (Pilis) was on the west bank of the Danube, near Budapest. Its area was 12605 km² around 1910. History The counties Pest and Pilis were formed in the 11th century. Pest was the area on the left (east) bank of the Danube around present-day Budapest, Pilis was on the opposite bank. They were united and became the political, cultural and economical centre of Hungary. The Solt region (the left bank of the Danube south of Rckeve), which previously belonged to Fejr county, was incorporated in Pest-Pilis-Solt county in the 17th century. Kiskunsg (little Cumania) was added in 1876, creating Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kiskun county. After World War II the county was split in two roughly equal parts. The northern part became Pest county, the southern part merged with Bcs-Bodrog county to form Bcs-Kiskun county.
