Cheorwon

Japanese: 鉄原 - てつげん
Cheorwon

A town (eup) adjacent to the military demarcation line in the north of Gangwon-do, South Korea (Republic of Korea). It belongs to Cheorwon-gun (area 765.36 sq km, population 47,901, 2000). Population 5,238 (2000). In 1931, it was promoted from a village (myeon) to an eup. After the Korean War, it was transferred from North Korean to South Korean control. As it is adjacent to the military demarcation line, 97.3% of the total area is military land, and only Hwaji-ri is inhabited by eup residents. Before World War II, it was a key location for road and rail transport, but during the Korean War, it was completely abandoned. The Cheorwon Plain, a basalt plateau, is a rice-producing region.

韓国(大韓民国)、江原道の北部の軍事境界線に隣接する邑(ゆう)(町)。鉄原郡(面積765.36平方キロメートル、人口4万7901、2000)に属す。人口5238(2000)。1931年、面(村)から邑に昇格。朝鮮戦争後、北朝鮮の支配地域から韓国の支配地域に移った。軍事境界線に隣接するので総面積の97.3%は軍用地になっており、花地里だけ邑民が居住する。第二次世界大戦前は道路・鉄道交通の要地であったが、朝鮮戦争中、完全に廃墟(はいきょ)になった。玄武岩台地の鉄原平野は米の産地である。
