The County of Ribagorza or Ribagorça was originally the independent creation of a local Basque dynasty, later absorbed into the Kingdom of Navarre, then Aragon. Historically it had a strong connexion with the counties of Sobrarbe and Pallars. Its territory was the valleys of the rivers Esera, Isábena, and Noguera Ribagorzana. The seat of its counts was at Benabarre. Today the western portion of the county comprises the comarca of Ribagorza, with its administrative centre in Graus.
The first history of the region was written in the early fifteenth century and preserved in a fragmentum historicum ex cartulario Alaonis (historical fragment from the cartulary of Alaon).
