Bjelovar-Križevci County

The Bjelovar-Križevci County (Croatian: Bjelovarsko-križevačka županija; Hungarian: Belovár-Kőrös vármegye) was a historic administrative subdivision of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia.

Croatia-Slavonia was an autonomous kingdom within the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen (Transleithania), the Hungarian part of the dual Austro-Hungarian Empire.

After that this area became part of the Military Frontier as the Varaždin Generalate, centred on Bjelovar, which was subdivided into the Križevci[note 1] and Đurđevac districts.

Following the compromise of 1867 which established Austria-Hungary from the Austrian Empire several waves of administrative restructuring took place.

In 1920 by the Treaty of Trianon the county became part of the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later renamed to Yugoslavia) and was formally abolished in 1922 when the Vidovdan Constitution came into force.
