The transition of administrative district and the origin of every dong in Puphyong area

According to the Boopyung town publication, such various names have been handed down as Jubuto, Jangje, Suju, Annam, Gyeyang, Gilju, Boopyung, etc.. Since the 2nd year of King Chungsun(A. D. 1310) in Koryo Dynasty, it s been called Boopyung-bu, and since the 13th year of Taejong(A. D. 1413) of Chosun Dynasty, it s been called Boopyung-dohobu. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the changes of administrative district and the origin of each dong in Boopyung, focused on mainly Inchon City, The administractive districts are considered for periodical differences : (1) The Age of Boopyung-dohobu, (2) The Age of Boopyung-gun, (3) The Age of Boochun-gun, (4) The Age of Inchon-bu, (5) The Age of Inchon City and Inchon City of Government s direct control. The origin of each dong are examined In view of administrative division as well as legally fixed dong. The Boopyung area during the period of Boopyung-dohobu covered all 15 Myun and 84 Ri : Boonae-myun, Sangojung-myun, Haojung-myun, Oksan-myun, Dongsojung-myun, Su-myun, Majang-myun, Sukchun-myun, Mowolgot-myun, Hwango-myun, etc.. The administrative building of Boopyung-dohobu was situated in Kyesan-dong, Buk-gu(the present site of Boopyung Primary School). The present area of Buk-gu in Inchon City, however, is limited to the land of old Boonae-myun, Dong-myun, Su-myun, Donsojung-myun, Majang- myun, Hwango-myun, etc.. The present address of Buk-gu administrative building is 442-1, Boopyung-dong, Inchon City; covering 29 administrative dongs (32 legally fixed dongs) as of September, 1992. A characteristic is discovered from the transitional process of Boopyung area. The name of Boopyung as the administrative unit gun disappeared completely when the new Boochun-gun appeared by the integration of most Inchon-bu area 1914. Boopyung-dong, instead, as the unit name of dong remains at the present position. This dates back to the time of opening Gyungin Railway in 1899, when Boopyung station was situated in the present place (once Dongsojung-myun Daejung-ri). The old central district of Boopyung town where Boopyung-dohobu administrative building stood is displaced with the present Boopyung Primary School, but the name of the district is chnged to Kyesan-dong. What it means is that Boopyung met with the transition from farming area to commerce and industry area.
