It was taken by the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century, and reconquered by the Habsburg Kingdom of Hungary at the end of the 17th century (recognised in the 1699 Treaty of Karlowitz). The southern part of the county, including Szeged, was part of the (Mureș) Military Frontier until the mid-18th century.
