Baranya is also the name of a historic administrative county (comitatus) in southern Hungary, comprising the present Hungarian county Baranya and the Croatian region to the south-east of it (spelled Baranja, part of the Osijek-Baranja county), bordered by the rivers Danube and Drave. The capital of the county was Pécs.
Baranya was divided in the Treaty of Trianon (1920) as the southeastern part of it (the one now in Croatia) was included in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. In modern times there is a Magyar minority in Baranja and a Croatian in Baranya.
