600 years of the history continues. Goyang-gun office and city hall
Goyang-gun was composed of 12 myeons (Yonggang, Yunhee, Eunpyeong, Soongin, Dokdo, Hanji, Byukje, Sindo, Wondang, Jido, Songpo, and Jungmyeon) and 155 ris in 1914. Goyang-gun office was relocated from Goyang-dong to Chungjeong-ro 1-ga (currnently Seoul Red Cross Hospital). In 1936, Yonggang-myeon, Yunhee-myeon, and Hanji-myeon were transferred to Hansung, and Goyang-gun office was partially transferred to Seoul due to the expansion of administration in Seoul. Goyang-gun only administered six myeons; Wondang, Byukje, Sindo, Jido, Songpo, and Mung. On August, 1961, gun-office was relocated from Seoul to Wondang-myeon. On April, 1989, as the plan for constructing New Ilsan City, the new Ilsan city was being constructed near old Ilsan-eub, Ilsan-ri, Madu-ri, Janghang-ri, Baekseok-ri, and Juyeop-ri in the size of 5.6 million py. Then, as the plan was made to add the Jungsan, Tanhyeon, Sungsa, Hwajeong, Neunggok, and Haengsin districts to the development for the area, Goyang-gun was promoted as Goyang-si on February 1, 1992. Deu to the development of new Ilsan city and the urbanization of Hwajeong, Tanhyeon, Sungsa-dong, Jungsan, and Haengsin, the population increased, and the place was promoted to Goyang-si. Afterwards, new symbols have become rose, lacebark pine tree, and magpie. At the time when the city was promoted, the population was about 240 thousand, and the size of the city was 266.47km2. As of April, 2017, the city was grown big in the population of 1.04 million, and there are three administrative district; Deokyang-gu, Insandong-gu, and Ilsanseo-gu in Goyang-si.
