This article examines the formation of Ulju region(‘蔚州地域’) and its geographic boundary in the Goryeo Dynasty. Yangju province(‘良州領域’) in the late Silla period was reorganized into Gyeongju province(‘慶州領域’) in 1018 CE(the 9th year of King Hyeonjong's reign) after several local governmental reforms of Goryeo. The biggest change of the province was that Gyeongju which was the capital of Silla became the center of the province. The most important thing in connection with the reorganization of Ulju region was the establishment of Heungnyebu (興禮府). Around 930 CE(the 13th year of King Taejo's reign), Heungnyebu was established by unifying Dongan-gun(東安郡) county and its prefectures unit and Imgwan-gun(臨關郡) unit. At that time, the center of Heungnyebu was Gyebyeonseong fortress(戒邊城) that was the base of Park Yunung(朴允雄). When the local governing system of Goryeo was reorganized into juhyeon-sokhyeon system(主縣屬縣制度) in 1018 CE, Ulju region was composed of Ulju, the juhyeon(主縣) and 3 sokhyeons, that were Heonyang-hyeon(巘陽縣), Dongnae-hyeon(東萊縣), and Gijang-hyeon(機張縣). At this time, the boundary between Ulju region and Gyeongju region was adjusted. Among the former Imgwan-gun region, the north of Chisullyeong(鵄述嶺) and Gwanmunseong (關門城) belonged to Gyeongju region. Heonyang-hyeon in the east of Nakdongjeongmaek(‘洛東正眽’), the eastern mountain range of Nakdong River(‘洛東江’) moved to Ulju's territory, but Dongpyeong-hyeon(東平縣) in the west of Dongnae-hyeon to Yangju’s. In this case, it can be confirmed that geographical elements such as mountain range were considered important when the government demarcated boundaries of juhyeon-sokhyeon units in 1018 CE.
