Bupyeong-gu Origin and History
Origin
Bupyeong is originally developed as region that was different from Incheon. It was called Jubutogun of Koguryo during the period of Three Kingdoms, while it was called Jangjaegun during the united Silla dynasty. It was referred to by names Suju, Ahnam, Gyeyang, gilju, and Bupyeong during the Korea dynasty, and it was also referred to as Bupyeong during the Chosun dynasty.
This area was included in Bucheongun Bunaemyun in 1914, and it was first included in Incheonbu in 1940. It must noted that after the 1970s, Seo-gu and Gyeyang-gu were separated due to the rapid expansion taking place from the acceleration of industrial development and construction of big apartment complexes. On March 1, 1995, its name was changed from Buk-gu to Bupyeong-gu, a district with 22 dongs. The office building of Bupyeong-gu moved to its current location on October 1, 1996.
