Areas near Ilsan Station in the 1970s
Ilsan Train Station of Gyeongui Line is located at Ilsan-dong, Ilsanseo-gu, in Goyang-si. Gyeonggui line was open in 1906 passing through Sinuiju from Seoul to Gaeseong, Sariwon, and Pyeongyang. Due to the Russia-Japan war in 1904, Japan installed temporary military trail management office to construct the military railway between Seoul and Sinuiju. Japan wanted to use this railway as a path for making invasion that initiated the construction between Yongsan and Gaeseong in March, 1904, and completed it in 1905 that direct operation became available between Yongsan and Sinuiju. As the stone bridge was constructed between Cheongcheon River and Daeryung River in 1906, the entire range was open. Old train station at Ilsan was a building constructed in 1933 that it has a rare historical value for how records of the history during Japanese colonial era is left. It was also evaluated to be well-preserved with original shape and, hence, was designated as a registered cultural asset in 2006.
