Gwonseon District (Korean: Script error: No such module "Lang".; RR: Script error: No such module "lang".Template:Category handler) is the south-western district of the city of Suwon in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea.
History
Gwonseon in “Gwonseonjingak” (勸善懲惡) refers to “encouraging virtue.” The district’s name originates from Gwonseon-dong, which was located at the center of the area when it was established in 1988. The name traces back to the late Goryeo period, when a scholar named Lee Go lived in seclusion on Mount Paldal and came down to Mangcheon (now the Suwoncheon area) to encourage people to live virtuously. This story became the basis for the name “Gwonseon-dong.”
In 1988, when Suwon’s population surpassed 500,000, the southern part of the city was established as Gwonseon-gu, while the northern part became Jangan-gu. At that time, areas such as Maesan-ro in front of Suwon Station, Godeung-dong, Ingye-dong, Maetan-dong, and Woncheon-dong were all under Gwonseon-gu’s jurisdiction.
