Gaogouli County was one of three prefectures of Xuantu Commandery on the Liaodong Peninsula of northeast China. It was established by the Han dynasty after the fall of Gojoseon to keep Goguryeo tribes in check. From 75 BC to 12 AD, Goguryeo tribes were under administration of Gaogouli County and engaged in client state relationship with the Han dynasty. In 12 AD, Goguryeo rebelled against the Han dynasty and established its own kingdom.
