Modern history


In 1963, Gosam town of Yongin was incorporateded by Anseong.[1][citation needed] At that time, Anseong was a county. In 1983, 6 towns ceded by Anseong and attached as a district of Pyeongtaek.[2][citation needed] In 1998, Anseong county became Anseong city.

A city located in the southernmost part of central and southern Gyeonggi-do. It borders Pyeongtaek-si to the west, Yongin-si to the north, Icheon-si and Eumseong-gun to the east, and Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do and Jincheon-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do to the south. It is located in the southernmost part of Gyeonggi-do and is adjacent to Chungcheong-do along with Pyeongtaek-si, so it serves as a kind of gateway. For this reason, in the past, it was counted as one of the three major commercial cities along with Daegu and Jeonju. At that time, Anseong was a bustling city that was not envious of a large city. Especially, the 5-day market held on the 2nd and 7th of every month was one of the three largest markets in Joseon.
