Jolbon was the capital of a small, Korean tribal state which arose in the north of the Korean peninsula from perhaps the 1st century BCE.

In 37 BCE, Jumong had fled from Dongbuyeo to avoid death at the hands of Dongbuyeo's Crown Prince Daeso, who presented great jealousy towards Jumong. After he fled, Jumong established a new kingdom in 37 BCE called Goguryeo in the Jolbon region. In Jolbon, he married Soseono (or So Seo-no), who was the daughter of a local tribal leader.

Jolbon was the first capital city of the ancient Korean Kingdom of Goguryeo from 37 BCE – 3 CE. The second ruler, the son of Jumong, Yuri, moved its capital to Gungnae Fortress.
