History

The name of the town originated from the fact that the region had five people who used to make iron crossbows in another place and took refuge.The region also had a sacred tree used for religious rituals.

From 1942, the Japanese constructed an airfield. After independence the airfield became the Gimpo airport.

In 1992, the original inhabitants of the town left with some compensations from the government to use the land for the airport[3]
