Szolnok-Doboka county was formed in 1876, when Belső-Szolnok county (its center was Dés/
Dej), most of
Doboka county (its center was Doboka/
Dăbâca at first, later Szamosújvár/
Gherla) and the eastern part of the Kővárvidék/
Chioar district were united. In 1920, by the
Treaty of Trianon, the county became part of Romania, except from 1940 until the end of
World War II, when it was returned to Hungary by the
Second Vienna Award, with a slightly modified territory. The territory of the county is now divided between the Romanian counties of
Cluj (the center and south, a.o.
Dej),
Maramureș (the north),
Bistrița-Năsăud (the east) and
Sălaj (the west). ==Demographics==
