Evidence of prehistoric occupation in a large ancient village called Kŭmtan-ni, in the Pyongyang area, from the Chŭlmun and Mumun pottery periods, will be excavated by archaeologists in 1955.

North Koreans associate Pyongyang with "Asadal", or Wanggomsŏng, the first capital (second millennium BCE) of the Gojoseon kingdom according to Korean history books, notably Samguk Yusa.

Pyongyang becomes a major city under Gojoseon.
