Myà Ânggan County, formerly known as Hwasà Âng County, is a kun, or county, in North Hamgyong province, North Korea. Unlike many Korean districts that date from the Joseon Dynasty, Hwasong was created after liberation. Yà Ângan was established in 1952, separated from Myà Ângch'à Ân. In 1967 Yà Ângan was renamed to Myà Ânggan, in 1981 to Hwasà Âng, and in 2004 to Myà Ânggan.
Myà Ânggan abuts the Sea of Japan (East Sea of Korea). Most of the land is rugged, with only one small plain along the Hwasongchon stream. The highest point in the county is Kiunbong. There are no ports, and the coastline is distinctively monotonous.
The chief streams of the county are the à Ârangch'à Ân (Chosà Ân'gà Âl: ì´ëÂÂì²Â, Hancha: æ¼ÂéÂÂå·Â) and Myà Ângganch'à Ân (Chosà Ân'gà Âl: 몠ê°Âì²Â, Hancha: æÂÂæ¾Âå·Â). More than 80% of the county is taken up by forestland.
Myà Ânggan is known for its pear orchards. In addition, livestock are widely raised. There are also coal mines in the county.
Political Prison Camp No. 16 is a large prison labor colony in the western part of the county.
Myà Ânggan County is divided into 1 à Âp (town), 3 rodongjagu (workers' districts) and 22 ri (villages):
