Geography
edit

The river Mureș formed part of its northern border, the river Târnava Mare its southern border. The Târnava Mică River flowed through the county. Its area was 1,724 km2 (666 sq mi) around 1910.
History
editKis-Küküllő County came into existence in 1876, when the administrative structure of Transylvania was changed and Küküllő County was split. In 1920, by the Treaty of Trianon, the county became part of the Kingdom of Romania. After the Second Vienna Award, a little part of the former county became part of Hungary again and was assigned to the recreated Maros-Torda County. Its territory lies in the present Romanian counties Mureș (around Târnăveni), Alba (the south-west), and Sibiu (the south, around Dumbrăveni).
