Zagreb County
Template:Short description Template:For Template:Infobox settlement Zagreb County (Template:Langx) is a county in Northern Croatia. It surrounds, but does not contain, the nation's capital Zagreb, which is a separate territorial unit. For that reason, the county is often nicknamed "Zagreb ring" (Template:Langx). According to the 2021 census, the county has 299,985 inhabitants,<ref name="2021 Census" /> most of whom live in smaller urban satellite towns.
The Zagreb County once included the city of Zagreb, but in 1997 they separated, when the City was given a special status.<ref>Narodne novine, br. 62/01, 125/08</ref> Although separated from the city of Zagreb both administratively and territorially, it remains closely linked with it.
