Bucheon
Bucheon is a city located in the Midwest of Gyeonggi province, South Korea. It is a satellite city located on the Bupyung Plain between Seoul and Incheon Metropolitan City. In 1914, Bucheon County was established. The name Bucheon was renamed from Bu-Pyung's "wealth" and the "Chun" in Incheon at the time of the reorganization of the Administrative District of the Japanese Chosun Government-General in 1914. On July 1, 1973, Sosa was promoted to Bucheon, and Bucheon was abolished. The remaining nine were transferred to Ongjin, Siheung, and Gimpo. In 1975, Ojungmyeon was transferred to Bucheon. Bucheon has been nicknamed the "Baekgol" since ancient times because of the abundance of peaches, and Bucheon City has designated the peach as its symbol. The city was built along the Gyeongin Line and Gyeongin National Highway, which was opened in 1899, and the Bucheon General Industrial Complex is being constructed along the Gyeongin Expressway to the north of the city. The central part of the city remained a farmland, and it was transformed into a new city through the development of a new Middle East city that began in 1989 and the development of a Sangdong residential district that began in 1999.
