Horo

Horo was a Hūrga Jurchen polity in the Khor River valley, a tributary of the Ussuri rising in the Sikhote-Alin. A trading settlement stood at the river mouth.

After 1409 the Ming governed the lower Amur and Ussuri region through the Nurgan commission, and the eunuch Yishiha stationed guard units along the Khor. Local chiefs held hereditary titles as tribute bearers until the wars of 1596 to 1625, when Nurhaci's Jianzhou armies subdued the Wild Jurchen and drew the Khor people into the Eight Banners.
