Papyeong

P'ap'yŏng lies near the lower Imjin River, on the roads between Kaesŏng and the country around the Han. Under Koryŏ it came directly under the administration of Kaesŏng, before receiving its own magistrate in 1106. In 1398 the Joseon court combined it with neighbouring Sŏwŏn to form Wŏnp'yŏng county. Roads along the river connected the district with P'aju and other settlements upstream.
