Chilgok County, Administrative district in North Gyeongsang, South Korea

Chilgok County covers 485 square kilometers in North Gyeongsang Province, with the Nakdong River flowing through its agricultural landscape.

The district evolved from Palgeorihyeon during the Silla Period to become Chilgok in 1640 when the Gasansanseong Fortress was constructed.

The Chilgok Patriots & Peace Memorial preserves artifacts and exhibits documenting the 55-day defense of the Nakdong River during the Korean War.

Local transportation networks include regular bus services and train connections that link the county to neighboring cities such as Daegu and Gumi.

The district features an urban-farming complex that combines modern agricultural methods with technology, producing rice, fruits, and vegetables throughout the year.
