Yeonggwang

Yŏnggwang lies on the western side of Chŏlla, near the estuary of the Wat'an stream. A Koryŏ tax-grain depot once operated here, but it appears to have closed amid raids in the late dynasty. A later depot, Pŏpsŏngch'ang, is recorded from 1472. After the closure of Naju's Yŏngsanch'ang in 1512, it received the grain taxes of seventeen additional towns for shipment to the capital.
