Korea: House on a hill above Haeju, northern Korea, early 20th century.

Haeju is a city located in South Hwanghae Province near Haeju Bay in North Korea. It is the administrative centre of South Hwanghae Province. As of 2000, the population of the city is estimated to be 236,000. At the beginning of 20th century, it became a strategic port in Sino-Korean trade. Haeju has chemical-related enterprises and a cement factory. The area around Haeju is known to have been inhabited since the Neolithic period, as shellmounds, pottery, and stone tools have been found at Ryongdangp'o. During the early Three Kingdoms period, it was briefly governed by a chieftain, when it was known as 'Naemihol' (????). In 757, however, it was conquered by the Goguryeo kingdom, which later lost it to Silla. It was under the Goryeo dynasty's King T'aejo that it received its current name.
