History
Jinhan was one of the three Hans who lived before Christ and who settled in Gyeongsangbuk-do. His rule became the base of the Silla Kingdom, with its brilliant culture. The 1,000-year kingdom flourished and unified the three prior kingdoms.

Our region was named Gyeongsang-do in 1314 (the first year of King Chungsuk's reign in the Goryeo dynasty). When the area was reorganized into 13 provinces in 1896 (the 33rd year of King Gojong's reign in the Joseon dynasty), our region was renamed “Gyeongsangbuk-do.” The present administrative districts were organized with the bu, gun, and myeon reorganization in 1914.
