==Geography==
[[File:Zemplen county map.jpg|thumb|180px|left| Map of Zemplén,
Zemplén county shared borders with [[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth|Poland]] (during some periods the with the [[Austrian Empire|Austrian]] crownland [[Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria|Galicia]]) and the Hungarian counties [[Sáros county|Sáros]], [[Abaúj-Torna]], [[Borsod]], [[Szabolcs (county)|Szabolcs]] and [[Ung County|Ung]]. It was situated in the easternmost strip of what is now Slovakia (except for the region between [[Vihorlatské vrchy]] and the [[Latorica]] river), plus a strip along the [[Bodrog]] and [[Tisza]] rivers in present-day Hungary. The rivers [[Laborec|Laborc]] and Bodrog flowed through the county. Its area was 6,269 km
==Capitals==
Initially, the capital of the county was the [[Zemplín Castle]] (Hungarian: ''Zempléni vár'', Slovak: ''Zemplínsky hrad''), in the 13th century also [[Sárospatak]] (in [[Slovak language|Slovak]]: Potok, meaning stream, brook, hence the alternative name of the county ''comitatus de Potok''). Since the [[Late Middle Ages]] the capital was the town of Zemplén, and since 1748 was [[Sátoraljaújhely]] (which is now divided between Slovakia and Hungary by the Ronyva/Roňava stream; the Hungarian part is known in Slovak as Nové Mesto pod Šiatrom and the Slovak part is now a separate village called Slovenské Nové Mesto).
[[File:Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén 1950.PNG|thumb|250px|left|Borsod-Gömör, Abaúj, and Zemplén counties after World War II. In 1950, the three counties were merged to form the modern Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County. (1) Nógrád-Hont County (2) territories assigned from Szabolcs County to Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County. (3) territories assigned from Borsod-Gömör County to Heves County. (5) the city of Debrecen (urban county).]]
==History==
Zemplén was one of the oldest counties of the Kingdom of Hungary. In the aftermath of World War I, in 1920 by the [[Treaty of Trianon]] the northern part of Zemplén county became part of newly formed [[Czechoslovakia]]. The southern half (including the bigger part of the divided [[Sátoraljaújhely]]) stayed in [[Kingdom of Hungary (1920–1946)|Hungary]] as the county of Zemplén. Following the provisions of the [[First Vienna Award]], an additional part became part of Hungary again in November 1938. The Trianon borders were restored after World War II, and the Hungarian county Zemplén merged with Abaúj, the most of Borsod-Gömör and a little part of [[Szabolcs County|Szabolcs]] counties to form the present [[Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County]].
