Kotar is a lower administrative-territorial unit or unit of local self-government. It was used in the Habsburg Monarchy and Austria-Hungary (1848–1918), later in the regions of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (1921–29), banovinas of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (1929–41) (where it was called a srez), grand župas of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) (1941–45), and in post-WWII Yugoslavia until 1955.

Thus, in 1955, the People's Republic of Croatia was divided into 27 counties, and in later years further changes were made to the organization of local government. The term was used once agai ...
