At the 38th Parallel, in the Demilitarized Zone. Specifically at Panmunjeom, a small village at the Demilitarized Zone, on July 27, 1953. This village is now a tourist spot where one can see (using binoculars) North Korean villagers across the border doing their daily chores. The zone is only 4 kilometers wide.
NO South Korea did not sign the armistice in 1953, therefore North and South Korea are still at war.
at the 1953 armistice
North & South Korean Armistice (Truce) in 1953. North Vietnamese Victory in 1975.
Communist North Korea and Non-Communist South Korea are still separated at the 38th Parallel by the Armistice signed in 1953.

The armistice was signed in 1953. Contrary to the learned individuals who said the war ended in 1953,the war remains today as of 2012 with North Korea. See "Korea, low intensity war 1968" and tell the 1000 American, DPRK, and the army of ROK who have been wounded and killed that the war is over.
July 27, 1953 at Panmunjom, North Korea
Communist North Korea attacked South Korea in 1950. The US/Allies drove the communists northward, and both sides settled upon an Armistice in 1953.
There probably would NOT have been a Korean War. Stalin supported North Korea's attack into South Korea. When Stalin died in March of 1953, the Korean War ended by Armistice four months later in July of 1953.
The political boundaries of the Korean peninsula did not change significantly. Korea remained a divided country. There was a military stalemate resulting in the continued division of the country An armistice was signed in July 1953.
Although the goal of uniting the Korean peninsula under communist rule was unsuccessful, North Korea and its Communist allies still consider the conflict a victory because North Korea's government survived and exists to this day.
