Csongrád County (former)
Csongrád (Hungarian: Csongrád, Serbian: Чонград, Čongrad) was an administrative county (comitatus) of the Kingdom of Hungary. Its territory, which was smaller than that of present-day Csongrád-Csanád County, is now part of Hungary, except a very small area which belongs to Serbia. The capital of the county was Szentes.
