==History==
Bács-Kiskun county was created from the pre-1938 counties Bács-Bodrog and Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kiskun.
The county came into existence by the unification of some areas of [[Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kiskun]] (southern half) and [[Bács-Bodrog]] county after [[World War II]]. The name Bács derives from the city of the same name, [[Bač, Serbia|Bač]] in modern [[Serbia]] (known as Bács in Hungarian), while Kiskun is the [[Hungarian language|Hungarian]] name for the region of [[Little Cumania]].

==Economy==
Bács-Kiskun county accounted for 3.7% of the Gross Value Added of [[Hungary]] in 2001. With almost EUR 1.9 billion, the GVA in Bács-Kiskun had increased by 50% compared to 1995.

===Sectors===
The [[primary sector]] accounted for 12.3% of the Gross Value Added of the county in 2001, and this was the highest share of any county. However, this share is declining over the years: it was 15.6% in 1995.

The share of the secondary sector is relatively constant over the years, with 30.9% of the Gross Value Added in 2001 (compared to 29.5% in 1995). The tertiary sector's GVA has increased most, although it still had a low share (56.8%) compared to the country as a whole (64.4%).

===Service and trade===
[[Service Sector|Service]] and trade are the dominant sectors of Bács-Kiskun's economy, where privatisation occurred first.

80% of the industrial output is represented by the food, machine, wood, and printing industries. The more substantial companies in the region attracted more investment. In the course of privatisation the [[Kecskemét]] cannery was purchased by [[H. J. Heinz Company|Heinz]], the Kiskunhalas textile mill partially by [[Levi's]]. During the [[privatisation]], the Danube Knitting Mill in [[Baja, Hungary|Baja]] was acquired by an American financial investment group

Among the industrial companies operating in the area of Baja are UNILEVER Rt. producing deep-[[frozen food|frozen]] products, the Bread factory of Bácska Sütoipari Rt., the [[abattoir]] of DÉLHÚS and the Pannonia Brewery. The local government of [[Baja, Hungary|Baja]] are encouraging the expansion of foreign capital by reducing local taxes.

There are approximately 39,600 firms in the county, representing 4.6% of the national total. The majority of companies employ only several people; indeed, 95% have 10 or fewer employees. Two percent of companies belong in the medium category, employing between 21 and 50 people, while the number and proportion of those employing 300 or more is very small.

===Agriculture===
Fruit, vegetable, [[Maize|corn]] and wheat production are the most successful branches of the region's agriculture. Compared to the other Hungarian counties, Bács-Kiskun has the second largest number of pigs (10% of the Hungarian pig stock) and 7% of cattle stock. The stock of sheep made up 194,000 at the end of 2002, 17.6% of Hungary's total stock and the largest in Hungary.

==Transport==

===Road===
On account of its central location, a great deal of the nation's traffic necessarily crosses the county. The total length of main roads in the county was 2,213 kilometres in 2002 so for every 100 square kilometres of land area, there are 26 kilometres of main road. Despite the fact that a great deal of labour has gone into improving the quality of the roads in the last decade, there has been a deterioration in their condition on account of their intensive use. Fifty-six kilometres of motorways crossed the county in 2002, making the road link with [[Serbia]] and the [[Balkans]].

Highway M5 and Road 5 go through Bács-Kiskun. There are many second-class roads throughout the county, giving easy access to every village. The international railroad lines [[Budapest]]-[[Subotica]]-[[Belgrade]] and the national railroad [[Budapest]]-[[Cegléd]]-[[Szeged]] pass through Bács-Kiskun as well.

===Rail===
The length of railways was of 641 kilometres in 2001 (32% electrified) and the most important lines in the county are between [[Budapest]] and [[Szeged]] and the route of the international express trains crossing Hungary in northwestern-southeastern direction leading to [[Belgrade]]. In addition to the main and secondary lines, there are a number of narrow gauge tracks for 'nostalgia trains' which operate as tourist attractions.

[[Baja, Hungary|Baja]] is the most important traffic junction of the southern part of the country. Its rail and public road junction is especially important due to the presence of the [[Danube]] bridge which provides a link between the [[Southern Great Plain]] and the [[Transdanubia]]n region. The city has the best-equipped port in the country, where further development possibilities await the investors. At present a 120 places ro-ro port terminal is under construction.

===Air===
The only airport in the county, in [[Kecskemét]], is a military one, chiefly used for the delivery of goods and occasionally for receiving civil aircraft. However, the county can be reached from the nearby [[Ferihegy Airport]] of Budapest in less than an hour.

==Politics==

===County Assembly===
{{Main|Bács-Kiskun County Assembly}}

[[File:Red pog.svg|8px]] municipalities are ''large'' villages.

There are also public, religion and private schools in Bács- Kiskun county. 
Primaries are almost in all of the villages and towns. Some of them are quite big, but there are actually small schools with only a few students.
One of the oldest schools is the Calvinist Grammar School, which was founded in 1564. Religion schools are important in the county, as well as it is in this way all around in Hungary (in the county: Calvinist Grammar Schools- Kecskemét, Kiskunhalas, "Piarista" Catholic Grammar School, Kecskemét- for boys only-, "Angolkisasszonyok" Catholic Grammar School, Kecskemét- for girls only.). 100 years ago children could only learn in these schools, the first public grammar schools were founded only in the 1950s. Almost all of the religion schools were closed in the 1940s by the communist government, and were refounded only in the 1990s (like all of the Calvinist schools).
The main public grammar schools of the county are the Bibó István Grammar School (Kiskunhalas), Bányai Júlia Grammar School (Kecskemét), Katona József Grammar School (Kecskemét) and III. Béla Grammar School (Baja).
There are many competitions to the children in almost all of the subjects (mainly in Hungarian, English, German and Mathematics).
There's only one University in Kecskemét, the Károli Gáspár Calvinist University of Law (it used to be the Calvinist Grammar School from 1991 to 1997).
The College of Kecskemét have several fields of study, like Teacher, Gardener, and so on.
