The Kingdom of Córdoba (also called Kingdom of Cordova) was a special area in Spain. It was part of the Crown of Castile from 1236 until 1833. The Crown of Castile was a powerful kingdom that ruled much of Spain.
This "kingdom" was not a country on its own. Instead, it was like a large region or territory within the bigger Crown of Castile. Córdoba was one of the Four Kingdoms of Andalusia, which were important areas in southern Spain.
The exact borders of the Kingdom of Córdoba were written down in a detailed survey. This survey was called the Respuestas Generales del Catastro de Ensenada, made between 1750 and 1754. It was like a big census that mapped out the land and people.
Like other kingdoms in Spain, the Kingdom of Córdoba stopped existing in 1833. This happened when Spain changed its internal borders. The country was reorganized into new provinces, similar to states or counties today.
