Angang-eup (Korean: 안강읍) is an eup, or town, and the second-largest subdivision of Gyeongju City. Its 139 square kilometers are home to about 33,300 people and is served by six elementary schools and two joint middle-high schools.[2] Situated next to Gangdong-myeon in the city's northern tip, it is a significant town in its own right. Angang Station is a regular stop on the Donghae Nambu Line. The town center lies on the Hyeongsan River, near where it meets the small Chilpyeongcheon stream. Important local products include rice, apples, and grapes.[1]

Etymology

The area now known as Angang was originally an uninhabited riverine region. Over time, changes in the flow of the Chilpyeongcheon (Chilpyeong Stream) led to the formation of residential settlements. During the reign of King Gyeongdeok of the Silla dynasty, the name "Angang" was adopted, reportedly reflecting a desire for stability and tranquility among local residents.
