After Goryeo (918~1392) was founded, Mupung did not change its name whereas Dancheon was renamed as ''Jugye'', and as Joseon rearranged administrative districts in 1414 (the 14th year of Taejong), Mupung and Jugye were incorporated into one district. It was named as Muju through the combination of the first letters of the two areas, Mupung and Jugye, after they were incorporated into one administrative district.
