The '''''hyeon''''' were administrative subdivisions of Korea during the [[Silla]], [[Goryeo]], and [[Joseon Dynasty|Joseon]] periods. They were typically slightly smaller than today's ''si'' and ''gun'' (see [[Subdivisions of South Korea]], [[Subdivisions of North Korea]]). They were abolished in the [[Gabo Reform]] of 1895.
During the Goryeo period, there were about 335 Hyeon; during the Joseon period, 164.
