history [edit ]

Gyeonggi-do has been a politically authoritative area since 18 BCE, when Korea was divided into three nations during the Three Kingdoms period. Ever since King Onjo, the founder of Baekje ( one of the three kingdoms ), founded the government in Wiryeseong of Hanam, the Han River Valley was absorbed into Goguryeo in the mid-fifth century, and became Silla ‘s district in the year 553 ( the 14th year of King Jinheung ). [ nota bene 1 ] Afterward, the current placement of Gyeonggi-do, one of the nine states of Later Silla, was called Hansanju. The Gyeonggi area started to rise as the central area of Goryeo as King Taejo of Goryeo ( the kingdom following Silla ) set up the capital in Gaesong. Since 1018 ( the 9th class of Goryeo ‘s King Hyeonjong ), this area has been officially called “ Gyeonggi ” .
Headquarters of the peasant governor, Joseon Dynasty During the Joseon, which was founded after the Goryeo, King Taejo of Joseon set the capital in Hanyang, while restructuring Gyeonggi ‘s sphere to include Gwangju, Suwon, Yeoju, and Anseong, along with the southeast region. Since the period of King Taejong and Sejong the Great, the Gyeonggi region has been very alike to the stream administrative area of Gyeonggi-do. In 1895 the 23-Bu system, which reorganized administrative areas, was effected. The Gyeonggi region was divided into Hanseong ( mod Seoul ; Hanseong-bu; 한성부 ; 漢城府 ), Incheon ( Incheon-bu; 인천부 ; 仁川府 ), Chungju ( Chungju-bu; 충주부 ; 忠州府 ), Gongju ( Gongju-bu; 공주부 ; 公州府 ), and Kaesong ( Kaesong-bu; 개성부 ; 開城府 ). During the japanese colonial time period, Hanseong-bu was incorporated into Gyeonggi-do. On October 1, 1910, it was renamed Keijo and a provincial government was placed in Keijo according to the reorganization of administrative districts. After liberation and the foundation of two separate korean states, Gyeonggi-do and its das kapital, Seoul, were separated with partial regions of Gyeonggi-do being incorporated into Seoul thereafter. additionally, Kaesong became north korean territory, the merely city to change control after the countries were divided at the 38th analogue, which is now separate of North Korea ‘s North Hwanghae Province. In 1967 the seat of the Gyeonggi peasant government was transferred from Seoul to Suwon. After Incheon separated from Gyeonggi-do in 1981, Gyeonggi regions such as Ongjin County and Ganghwa County were incorporated into Incheon in 1995 .
