Ancient Period |
| |
During the Three Hans Period, this region belonged
to Siljik of Jin Han. In 102 AD, it came to be ruled
by the Shilla Kingdom. Around the 5th century, it
was governed by the Gogyoryo Kingdom. Again in 505,
during the 6th year of the reign of King Jijeung,
it fell once again under the sway of Shilla, and
was renamed Siljikju. In those days it was regarded
as a strategic point when conducting the Nordpolitik
by the Shilla Kingdom, and in 658 the Nordpolitik
was realized. In 685, after the unification of the
Three Kingdoms, it belonged to Haseo-ju. Then in
757, when Haseo-ju was renamed Myeong-ju, it was
also renamed Samcheok-gun. |

In 1393 the region was upgraded as Samcheok-bu,
and in 1413 it was again upgraded to Samcheok-dohobu.
According to the 'Cheokju-ji', published by Heo
Mok in 1662, the current region of Taebaek City,
together with Hajang-myeon in Samcheok-gu, belonged
to Jangsaeng-ri. In 1801, Sangjangsaeng-myeon was
renamed Sangjang-myeon. |

In 1961 Sangjang-myeon was upgraded to Jangseong-eup,
and in 1962 a branch office was established in
Hwangji, Jangseong-eup. In 1973, a branch office
in Hwangji was upgraded as Hwangji-eup. In 1977
branch offices were established in Hwangjeon and
Sodo in Hwangji-eup. In 1981 Jangseong-eup and
Hwangji-eup were integrated into Taebaek City,
thereby became independent from Samcheok-gun.
(Law ¡í 3425). On December 26, 1994, four ris in
Hajang-myeon, Samcheok-gun were integrated into
Taebaek City as Sajo-dong. (President Decree ¡í3425).
On September 10, 1998, administrative dongs were
integrated or abolished, and thereby neighborhood
names were changed. (16 dongs -> 8 dongs) |
