This article is about the state. For the metropolitan area, see Gyeonggi region state in Seoul Capital, South Korea
Gyeonggi Province ( korean : 경기도, korean pronunciation : [ kjʌ̹ŋ.ɡi.do̞ ] ) is the most populous province in South Korea. Its name, Gyeonggi, means “ the area surrounding the capital ”. thus Gyeonggi-do can be translated as “ province surrounding Seoul ”. Seoul, the nation ‘s largest city and capital, is in the center of the state but has been individually administered as a provincial-level special city since 1946. Incheon, the state ‘s third-largest city, is on the coast of the state and has been similarly administered as a provincial-level metropolitan city since 1981. The three jurisdictions are jointly referred to as Sudogwon and cover 11,730 km2 ( 4,530 sq nautical mile ), with a combine population of 25.5 million—amounting to over one-half of the integral population of South Korea.

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 .

The fields of Gimpo, Gyeonggi, and Pyeongtaek extend to the west. Gyeonggi-do boasts beautiful nature stocked with rivers, lakes, mountains, and sea. Its spokesperson rivers are the Hangang, Imjingang, and Anseongcheon ( Stream ), which flow into the Yellow Sea, with Gyeonggi Plain, Yeonbaek Plain and Anseong Plain forming a fertile discipline sphere around the rivers. The Gwangju Mountain Range and the Charyeong Mountain Range stretch toward China in Gyeonggi Province.
