Hwanghae Province (Hwanghae-do Script error: No such module "IPA".) was one of the Eight Provinces of Korea during the Joseon era. Hwanghae was located in the northwest of Korea. The provincial capital was Haeju. The regional name for the province was Haeseo (KoreanScript error: No such module "Lang".).[1] It is a region of Korea that occupies what is now North Hwanghae and South Hwanghae provinces of North Korea, as well as Baengnyeong Island and Ongjin County of South Korea.

Etymology

The name of the region, Haeseo, means "West of the Sea", in reference to the region being to the west of Gyeonggi Bay, the portion of the Yellow Sea offshore of Incheon and Ganghwa Island.[2]

History

Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". In 1395, the province was organized as Punghae (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "lang".). In 1417, the province was renamed Hwanghae. The name derived from the names of the two principal cities of Hwangju (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".) and Haeju Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".).[3]

In 1895, the province was reorganized into the Districts of Haeju (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "lang".) in the west and Gaeseong (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "lang".) in the east, but in 1896, a new system of thirteen provinces was established, and Hwanghae Province was reconstituted.

In 1910, Korea was annexed into the Empire of Japan, and its administrative divisions were rearranged. Hwanghae Province was reorganized into Kōkai-dō, with Kaishū (Haeju) serving as its capital.[3]

In 1945, Korea was divided into Soviet and American zones of occupation, north and south respectively of the 38th parallel. The southernmost part of Hwanghae (around the towns of Ongjin and Yeonan) was cut off from the rest of the province by the dividing line and joined Gyeonggi Province in the southern half of the country. In 1948, Hwanghae and Gyeonggi Provinces became parts of the new countries of North and South Korea respectively.

In 1953, at the end of the Korean War, the Northern Limit Line was established, which marked the maritime boundary between North and South Korea. The line runs between the mainland portion of Gyeonggi Province that had been part of Hwanghae before 1945, and the adjacent offshore islands (the largest of which is Baengnyeongdo). As a result, the mainland portion reverted to North Korean control, while the islands remained a part of South Korea. (Since 1999, North Korea has claimed a more southerly Maritime Military Demarcation Line, which would make the islands a part of North Korea as well. Disputes between North and South Korean naval vessels often occur in this area.)

In 1954, North Korea's Hwanghae Province was divided into North and South Hwanghae Provinces.

Geography

Hwanghae was bounded by Pyeongan Province (after 1896 South Pyeongan) on the north, Gangwon Province on the east, Gyeonggi Province on the south, and the Yellow Sea on the west.
