Wuling Commandery (武陵郡) was an administrative commandery of imperial China located in the middle reaches of the Yuan River and the eastern foothills of the Wuling Mountains. Founded in 202 BCE under the Western Han, it persisted—through multiple boundary changes—until the commandery system was abolished by the Sui dynasty in 589 CE.[1]
