About

With an area of 18,420 km2 (7,110 sq mi), North Gyeongsang is 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 to 2016, but has not been a part of the province since 1981.
