According to Samguk Sagi (the oldest surviving Korean history book, written in the 12th century), Onjo, the son of Goguryeo's founder Jumong, founded the nation of Sipje (십제, 十濟; later became Baekje) on Wiryeseong in 18 BCE, while his elder brother Biryu established himself in Michuhol (미추홀, 彌鄒忽) further to the west.
