A city that would have been a hit if it hadn’t been divided.

(1)It was promoted to Cheorwon-bu and remained in Gangwon-do until now after being transferred to Gangwon-do in the 16th year of King Sejong’s reign. During the Joseon Dynasty, Im Kkeokjeong was active in Dongsong-eup, Cheorwon-gun, and built a stone fortress on the opposite side of Goseokjeong and confronted the government forces. It was renamed Cheorwon-gun in 1896 with the implementation of the 13th Do system

Kim Il Sung Koji, which is said to have been directly commanded by Kim Il Sung, is located in Cheorwon, which was occupied by North Korea, but when the North Korean army lost the battle and eventually failed to occupy Cheorwon, he cried for three days and regretted it. 13 Therefore, the current area is
