Pyeong'an Province was formed in 1413. Its name derived from the names of two of its principal cities, Pyeongyang (Korean: 평양; Hanja: 平壤) and Anju (Korean: 안주; Hanja: 安州).
In 1895, the province was replaced by the Districts of Ganggye (Korean: 강계부; Hanja: 江界府) in the northeast, Uiju County (Korean: 의주부; Hanja: 義州府) in the northwest, and Pyeongyang (Korean: 평양부; Hanja: 平壤府) in the south.
In 1896, Kanggye and Ŭiju Districts were reorganized into North Pyongan Province, and Pyeongyang District was reorganized as South Pyongan Province. North and South Pyongan Provinces are part of North Korea.
