Hyeon

The hyeon were administrative subdivisions of Korea during the Silla, Goryeo, and Joseon periods. They were typically slightly smaller than today's si and gun (see Subdivisions of South Korea, Subdivisions of North Korea). They were abolished in the Gabo Reform of 1895.

This article is about the administrative division. For the name, see Hyun (Korean name). For other uses, see Hyon (disambiguation).
