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).
