Boseong, South Korea

Boseong is a county in South Jeolla Province, South Korea. It covers 663.16 sq km (256 sq mi) and has a population of 62,000 (2011 estimate).

Boseong is perhaps best known throughout Korea for producing some of the finest green teas in the country. The green tea from Boseong is said to have been included in the dietary requirements of astronauts.

The county of Boseong was founded in 1397, during the reign of King Taejo. The initial settlement was destroyed during a Japanese invasion in the 16th century, and was rebuilt a few years later, during the reign of King Seonjo.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
