Harrien County (German: Kreis Harrien or Kreis Reval, Estonian: Harju kreis, Russian: Ревельскій/Гарріенскій уѣздъ, romanized: Revelskiy/Garrienskiy uyezd) was one of the four counties of the Governorate of Estonia.[1] It was situated in the central part of the governorate (in present-day northern Estonia). Its capital was Reval (Tallinn), which was the capital of the governorate as well. The territory of Harrien County corresponds to present-day Harju County and most parts of Rapla County.[2]
