Sažetak
Josip Juraj Strossmayer, the bishop, a notable politician and Maecenas, became the great district prefect of the Virovitica county in 1861. In order to contextualize his activity, it is necessary, among other things, to pay attention to demographic condition of the Virovitica county in the time of his administration. The census of 1869 has served as the most complete source for the information about it. That census was made by a conception of present population and it was not comprehensive for the whole area of Croatia and Slavonia. Namely, it did not include the area of the Croatian Military Border. The census reveales the facts that the county of Virovitica counted among the least populated counties in Croatia and Slavonia. In the census we can also find data on population and settlements structure in the county of Virovitica by districts. It offers us also valuable data about sexual, denominational, working and educated population structure. In order to clear the process of population growth, apart from static condition of the Virovitica county from 1869, it is necessary to refer to a rich demographic literature and also show dynamic change processes in the population number. By analysing these data, we obtain the condition of the Virovitica county which is not immediately noticeable from the general surveys of history in the Virovitica county and from the activity of Josip Juraj Strossmayer and it determined in many matters by far the forthcoming historical processes and directed the activities of all men and even of the notable persons such as the great district prefect of the Virovitica county, the bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer.
