WHAT DOES INCHEON MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Incheon

Incheon

Incheon literally 'wise river', formerly romanized as Inchon, and officially known as Incheon Metropolitan City, is a city located in northwestern South Korea, not too far from the Capital city of Seoul. The city was home to just 4,700 people when Jemulpo port was built in 1883. Today 2.9 million people live in the city, making it Korea’s third most populous city after Seoul and Busan Metropolitan City. While people have inhabited the area since the New Stone Age, the city’s growth was assured in modern times with the development of its port due to its natural advantages as a coastal city and its proximity to the South Korean capital at Seoul. It is part of the Seoul National Capital Area, along with Seoul itself and Gyeonggi Province; as such, Incheon is the world's fourth-largest suburb by population. A suburb here is defined as: not a central city from a business or infrastructure sense Incheon has since led the economic development of Korea by opening its port to the outside world, ushering in the modernization of Korea as a center of industrialization. In 2003, the city was designated as Korea’s first free economic zone.
