History
Varat (Oradea) was made the seat of an Ottoman governor (beylerbeyi) in 1660. Before the formation of the Eyalet, its area was mostly part of the vassal Ottoman Principality of Transylvania. Some territories that formerly belonged to Temeşvar Eyalet and Budin Eyalet were also included into Varat Eyalet.
In June 1692 the eyalet was conquered by the Habsburgs, and was ceded to Austria by Treaty of Carlowitz in 1699. Its territory was subsequently included into Habsburg Kingdom of Hungary and Habsburg Principality of Transylvania.
