Geoje-myeon

Few places in Gyeongsangnam-do have a history as closely tied to administration on Geoje Island as Geoje-myeon. Long the island’s county seat, this inland township retains Giseonggwan, a Joseon-period government guesthouse associated with the former Geoje magistracy, and Geoje Hyanggyo, the local Confucian school. It lies amid the low, folded terrain of Geoje Island, South Korea’s second-largest island, with the Korea Strait shaping its maritime connections. Modern Geoje is strongly associated with shipbuilding, while Geoje-myeon preserves an older civic identity.
