Story of Goyang history

Ties between Korea University and Goyang City in Seoul

                                                                

                                          Korea University Main Building (Historical Site) built at the time of Seongin-myeon.

In the 1930s, when Korea University was built in the present place, the address was Anam Lee in Seongin-myeon, Goyang-gun, Gyeonggi-do. The main building, the graduate school, the central library, and the western building (temple), which are currently designated as private, were built in this order. The history of this transition is recorded in the Korea University 100th Anniversary Memorial Hall and the Korea University Museum on the first floor.Korea's democratization started in the 4th and 19th revolutions, and Korea University was a Sungin-myeon area jurisdiction.

The Korea University Museum has national treasures excavated from Goyang County. The representative example of this is the teaspoon jar of Taishil (the amnion[caul] and the placenta, the womb). In the royal family, when the baby was born, he immediately placed the umbilical cord in his jar. More than 90 percent of the royal tombs of the Joseon Dynasty are located in Seosamneung.

It was forcibly moved by the Japanese Empire

This Placenta Chamber of Korea University has been excavated as it was in the past.

When Korea University belonged to the Goyang Gun, Goyang County was located across from the current Dongdaemun History and Culture Park. I still remodel some of the old building. Around here, there is a large shopping mall with more than 20 floors, and only this three-story building remains humble.

When Goyang County Office was here in Dongdaemoon, the area of Goyang County included current Goyang City, current Suyu-dong to the north, Jamsil and Ttukseom to the east, Yeouido to the west, and Gukul.It was a very wide area of Goyang-gun.
