Gochang County, Administrative county in North Jeolla, South Korea.

The territory extends over 606 square kilometers of agricultural fields, residential zones, and mountains in the western part of North Jeolla Province.

The region transformed from Morobiri during the Mahan period to Moryangburi-hyeon in Baekje times and finally received its current name under Silla rule.

The Green Barley Field Festival occurs from April to May at Hagwon Farm, featuring local harvest celebrations and traditional food demonstrations.

The county maintains an average temperature of 14.3 degrees Celsius with annual precipitation of 1,225 millimeters, creating conditions for agricultural activities.

This administrative region contains Korea's largest collection of prehistoric dolmens, with numerous stone tombs concentrated in Maesan village.
