Sobrance, the easternmost town in Slovakia, is in the
Kosice Region (Košický kraj) of
Slovakia, about 15 km from Uzhorod, Ukraine and 22 km east of
Michalovce. Before the end of World War I, Sobrance, then Szobr‡nc, was
the main city in the Szobr‡nci j‡r‡s (district) of Ung megye (county),
Hungary. Uzhorod, formerly Ungvar, Hungary, was the main city in Ung megye. In 1882,
there were 51 towns in the Szobr‡nci district, most of which are now in
Slovakia. Those now in Ukraine are marked (U): Vinna-Banka,

southeastern Slovakia. The red line delineates the border with Ukraine. |
