North Gyeongsang Province
Summary
North Gyeongsang Province (경상북도, kjʌŋ.saŋ.buk̚.t͈o) is a province in eastern South Korea and with an area of the largest province in the Korean peninsula. The province was formed in 1896 from the northern half of the former Gyeongsang province, and remained a province of Korea (as Keishōhoku-dō during Japanese rule) until the country's division in 1945, then became part of South Korea.
Daegu was the capital of North Gyeongsang Province between 1896 and 1981, but has not been a part of the province since 1981. In 2016, the provincial capital moved from Daegu to Andong.
The province is part of the Yeongnam region, bordered on the south by Gyeongsangnam-do, on the west by Jeollabuk-do and Chungcheongbuk-do Provinces, and on the north by Gangwon-do Province. It is largely surrounded by mountains: the Taebaek Mountains in the east and the Sobaek Mountains in the west.
North Gyeongsang Province is the homeland of the former kingdom of Silla and has retained much of its cultural tradition. A number of artists, political leaders and scholars have come from the province.
