The diocese includes the counties ( Komitate ) of Szatmár, Bereg, Mármaros, Ugocsa, Ungvar, and a small part of the district of Szabolcs. The first bishop was Stephen Fischer (1804-7), later Archbishop of Eger. Of his successors may be mentioned: Peter Klobusiczky (1807-21), who rendered great service in the organization of the diocese ; John Hám (1827-57), who gave great attention to education. Under them the cathedral as enlarged and renewed, and several other churches were built.
