The Counties of Transylvania and Partium . A Historical-Geographical Perspective. The administrative organization of the state territory has always been one of the most important means of the state to exercise its power. The evolution of the territorial administration since the Modern Age shows on the one hand the ways in which the central power tried to reinforce its control over the smaller territorial units, the towns and villages of Transylvania, on the other hand the fight of the local units and authorities in order to maintain their traditional autonomy and more recently to gain new rights on the field of local autonomy. The cartography of the counties along the centuries also shows the attempts of the central power to divide the various ethnic and religious communities of Transylvania in order to control them more easily, and more recently to reinforce the assimilation of the ethnic minorities.

Keywords: county, chair, district, province, region, autonomy, administrative reform.
