Hoech'ang County is a kun (county) in South P'yŏngan province, North Korea.

History

Before 1945, most of the territory that now comprises Hoech'ang, was part of neighbouring Sŏngch'ŏn county. In 1952 four townships from Sŏngch'ŏn (Sungin-myŏn, Kuryong-myŏn, Rungjung-myŏn, and Taegok-myŏn) and one from Koksan (Pongmyŏng-myŏn) were split from their counties and merged to form Hoech'ang County.

Administrative divisions

The district is split into 1 ŭp (town), 4 rodongjagu (workers' districts) and 17 ri (villages):
