North Hwanghae Province

North Hwanghae Province encompasses 8,450 square kilometers of territory between the Yellow Sea and the Korean Demilitarized Zone, with Sariwon as its capital.

The region emerged from the division of Hwanghae Province in 1954, following broader territorial changes that occurred after the separation of North and South Korea.

The province contains numerous archaeological remnants, including the Anak Tomb Number 3 from the Koguryo period and multiple Buddhist temples across its territory.

Agricultural production forms the economic foundation of North Hwanghae Province, with extensive plains dedicated to growing grains and vegetables for regional distribution.

The North Korean maritime boundary, known as the Northern Limit Line, creates a complex territorial situation affecting the province's western coastal waters.
