Pyeonghae's name means "Peaceful Sea(s)". It appears in 19th-century sources as "Pingai",[1] "Pingai Harbor",[2] and "Ping-hai Harbor".[3]

Geography

[edit]

Pyeonghae lies on the north bank of the Namdae (, "Southern Great River"), about a mile inland from its confluence with the Sea of Japan[4] on the eastern shore of the Korean Peninsula. Its harbor was formed by a conical island, which sheltered an anchorage in the Namdae estuary.[3]

History

[edit]

During the 19th century, Pyeonghae was reckoned one of the primary harbors on Korea's eastern shore.[1]

Pyeonghae Village (Pyeonghae-ri) was officially promoted to town status on 1 December 1980.
