Chin Village was founded by his army. After Chin's death, they had no place to go, still hating the Earth King and Kyoshi, thus building a city at the place of Chin's death - both as hnor to their leader, but also because it was far away from Ba Sing Se, so that they could live there without the EK government.

It is unlikely that all his troops came from the north-west, anyway. It is often forgotten that Chin was not like Ozai - Chin rebelled against the rule of the 46th Earth King, a dictator who ordered his guards to kill innocents during the peasant uprising in Ba Sing Se. All of Chin's army followed him out of respect and free will, wanting to free the EK from the Earth King's tyranny. Probably his army consisted of people from all over the continent, thus they founded their village because of the reasons mentioned above, and did not go back the north-west.
