Namp'o lies on the northern shore of the Taedong River, 15 km east of the river's mouth. It was a provincial-level Directly Governed City (Chikhalsi) from 1980 to 2004 and was designated a Special City (T'ŭkgŭpsi; tŭkpyŏlsi; 특별시; 特別市), in 2010 and made a part of South P'yŏngan. Namp'o is approximately 50 km southwest of P'yŏngyang, at the mouth of the Taedong River.
Namp'o was originally a small fishing village that became a port for foreign trade in 1897, developing into a modern port in 1945 after World War II. With the rapid increase in state investment, the city's industrial capacity grew.[citation needed] Some of the city's industrial facilities include the Namp'o Smelter Complex, the Namp'o Glass Corporation, the Namp'o Shipbuilding Complex, the Namp'o Fishery Complex, and other central and local factories. Namp'o is a center for the DPRK shipbuilding industry. North of the city are facilities for freight transportation, aquatic products, and fishery, and a sea salt factory. Apples grown in the city's Ryonggang district (룡강군) are a famous local product.[2][3]
