History

In December 1952, during the Korean War, P'anmun County was established due to the reorganization of administrative divisions in North Korea. The name of the county is taken from Panmunjom, where armistice talks were held at the time.

In January 1955, Kaep'ung County and P'anmun County in North Hwanghae Province belonged to Kaesong District.

In June 1957, when Kaesong District was promoted to Kaesong Directly Governed City, P'anmun County belonged to it.

P'anmun County disappeared in November 2002. After Kaesong Special City was established in October 2019, P'anmun-guyŏk was established in April 2020.
