Encyclopedia
Bács-Bodrog County was the administrative county (comitatus
) of the Habsburg Kingdom of Hungary
from 18th century to 1918. Its territory is currently in northern Serbia
(western Vojvodina
) and southern Hungary
. The capital of the county was Zombor
(Serbian: Sombor
).
), which itself was named after a Slavic tribe Abodrites (or Bodrići in Slavic) that inhabited this area in the Middle Ages. The Abodrites were originally from northwest Germany, but after their homeland fell to the Germans, some had moved to Pannonia
.
, Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kiskun
, Csongrád
, Torontál
, Syrmia, and Virovitica (the latter two counties were part of autonomous region Croatia-Slavonia). The river Danube
formed its western and southern border. The river Tisza
formed its eastern border, down to its confluence with the Danube. Its area was 10,362 km² around 1910.
, in the 11th century. Bodrog county was also formed in the 11th century. The area was taken by the Ottoman Empire
in the 16th century and two counties were abolished. During the Ottoman administration, the area of the former counties was part of the Sanjak of Segedin. The Batsch and Bodrog counties were established again after the Batschka
region was captured by the Habsburg Monarchy
in 1699 (The two counties were joined into single Batsch-Bodrog county in the 18th century). Some (mostly eastern) parts of the Batschka were incorporated into the Theiß-Maros section of Military Frontier
. After this part of Military Frontier was abolished in 1751, these parts of the Batschka were also included into Batsch-Bodrog county. The only part of the Batschka region, which remained within Military Frontier was Šajkaška
, but it also came under civil administration in 1873.
In 1848/1849 the area of the county was part of Serbian Voivodeship
, while between 1849 and 1860 it was part of Voivodeship of Serbia and Banat of Temeschwar, a separate Habsburg
province. During this time the county did not existed since area was divided into districts. The county was recreated in the 1860s, when Voivodeship of Serbia and Banat of Temeschwar was abolished and area was again incorporated into the Habsburg Kingdom of Hungary
(since 1867, Kingdom of Hungary is one of two autonomous parts of Austria-Hungary).
In 1918, this area became part of the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (renamed to Yugoslavia in 1929) and county was abolished. By the Treaty of Trianon
of 1920, territory of the county was divided between the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and Hungary
. Most of the county (including Sombor
, Subotica
, and Novi Sad
) was assigned to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, while the northernmost (approximately 15% of the county), including town of Baja, was assigned to Hungary
.
Between 1918 and 1922, the southern part of the former Bács-Bodrog county was a county of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes with a seat in Novi Sad
. The northern part of the former county had been a county within Hungary since 1921. The capital of this smaller Hungarian county Bács-Bodrog was Baja. After World War II Bács-Bodrog was united with the southern part of former Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kiskun
county to form the Bács-Kiskun
county.
The Yugoslav part of the pre-1918 Bács-Bodrog county was occupied by Hungary during World War II (see Occupation of Vojvodina, 1941-1944
) and the Bács-Bodrog county was recreated in 1941. The border between Yugoslavia and Hungary was restored after 1944 and the county was abolished again. Yugoslav part of former Bács-Bodrog county was later divided into 3 districts and currently is part of Serbia

, Hungarians, and Germans. Because many of the Germans came from Swabia
, they were known as Donauschwaben, or Danube Swabians
. Some Germans also came from Austria, and some from Bavaria
and Alsace
. Lutheran Slovaks
, Rusyns
, and others were also colonized but to a much smaller extent.
According to the Austrian census from 1715, Serbs
, Bunjevci
, and Šokci comprised 97.6% of the county's population.
The 1720 census recorded 104,569 citizens in the county. Of those, there were 98,000 Serbs (divided into 76,000 Orthodox
and 22,000 Roman Catholics or Bunjevci
and Šokci), 5,019 Magyars and 750 Germans
. The Serbs (73%) and Bunjevci and Šokci (21%) had an overwhelming majority in the county which seems to have been inhabited solely by them.
There was also an emigration of Serbs from the eastern parts of the region, which belonged to Military Frontier until 1751. After the abolishment of the Theiß-Maros section of Military Frontier, many Serbs emigrated from north-eastern parts of Batschka. They moved either to Russia
(notably to Nova Serbia
and Slavo-Serbia
) or to Banat
, where Military Frontier was still needed.
By 1820 the county had grown to 387,914 in total population. The Serb (including Bunjevci and Šokci) share had dropped to 44% or 170,942 with the number of Hungarians plummeting at 121,688 and Germans at 91,016 or 31% and 23% respectively.
By the 1910 census the region had relative Hungarian linguistic majority. According to the census of 1910, the county had 812,385 inhabitants. Population by language (1910 census):
As for the geographical distribution of the three largest ethnic groups in 1910, Hungarians mainly lived in northern parts of the county, Germans
in western, and Serbs
in the southern parts. Novi Sad
, city in the southern part of the county, was the cultural and political centre of the Serb people in the 18th and 19th century.
