History

The county hall was built in 1769. It was completely rebuilt in 1809 and became the center not only of the political but also of the cultural life of Ung County. On May 8, 1919, at the initiative of Augustin Voloshin, a separatist organization called the Central Russian People's Council, established here, declared its intention to join today's Subcarpathia to the newly created Czechoslovakia. The decision lacked any legitimacy based on popular representation. Ungvár at that time had a significant Hungarian majority.
