The city of Uzhhorod is the capital of the Transcarpathian Oblast in Ukraine and the seat of the administrative centre for the Uzhhorod Raion. It is located in the border triangle between Hungary, Slovakia and Ukraine, directly on the Slovakian border.

It was conquered by Hungary in the mid-11th century. The conquest of the rest of Transcarpathia was then completed by the 13th century. Until 1918/19, the city belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary under various princes and thus also to the Austrian monarchy from 1526 and to Austria-Hungary from 1867.

Under the Treaty of Trianon, Uzhhorod fell to the newly founded Czechoslovakia in 1919 along with Carpathian Ukraine. Until 1938, Uzhhorod was the capital of the autonomous Carpathian Ukraine within Czechoslovakia. As a result of the First Vienna Award of 2 November 1938, Uzhhorod, together with the southern strip of Carpathian Ukraine, became Hungarian again.
