Hrvatsko Zagorje (or simply Zagorje) is a region in northwestern Croatia with a widely recognizable name and distinctive characteristics (hilly and densely populated area, rich cultural inheritance). Between 2014 and 2017 The Miroslav Krleža Institute of Lexicography produced an encyclopedia devoted exclusively to the Zagorje region. One of the essential conceptional issues for its editors was to determine the area of the region, and consequently define the area which is to be described by the encyclopedia. Taking into account that encyclopedias generally favour a holistic approach, which includes all relevant facts, the editors decided to accept and apply a wider definition of the region elaborated in many books and articles. Within the encyclopedia Zagorje was defined in such a way to include the Krapina-Zagorje (which is the core-region) County in total, as well as neighbouring parts of the Varaždin and Zagreb counties. This article reviews different territorial definitions of Zagorje which served as a basis for the standpoint taken by the editors of the encyclopedia. The article also provides basic information on the etymology of the toponym Hrvatsko Zagorje.
