Jeomchon

Jeomchon is the urbanized center of Mungyeong city, in Gyeongsangbuk-do province, South Korea.

The name literally means "mountain-pass village", and may refer to the low hills that run along the edge of town.

It has a population of about 45,000 (based on 2003 city residence figures [1][permanent dead link‍]), on an area of roughly 45 km2.

Its merger with Mungyeong County in 1995 created the present-day entity of Mungyeong-si.
