Dong-gu (Dong-gu)
Dong District (Dong-gu) is a ward in Incheon, South Korea.
* The city area is developed on a hill with an elevation of 30-40 m above sea level, and the reclaimed land on the north coast is formed as a seashore industrial complex, forming a part of the Incheon seashore industrial zone and connected to the Juan and Bupyeong industrial complexes. Although the population is evenly distributed throughout the district, the entire district is an old residential area connected to the old town of Incheon, and the population is decreasing every year. Arterial roads extend in all directions with the Songnim-dong roundabout as the center, and branch roads have irregular shapes due to topographical constraints. The entire district forms a residential area adjacent to the city center and the northern reclaimed land is developed as an industrial area, so it has the highest population density among the four districts of Incheon.
* An autonomous district located in the midwest of Incheon Metropolitan City. It has the smallest population among the eight districts of Incheon Metropolitan City and the smallest area among the ten districts. Geographically, it borders Jung-gu to the south, Seo-gu to the north, Michuhol-gu to the east, and the Yellow Sea to the west. Although it is located to the west of Incheon, the name Dong-gu was given because it was an area to the east of Incheon City Hall (now Jung-gu Office) in Songhak-dong, Jung-gu.

The Korean Peninsula was inhabited as early as the Lower Paleolithic period. Its first kingdom was noted in Chinese records in the early 7th century BCE. Following the unification of the Three Kingdoms of Korea into Silla and Balhae in the late 7th century, Korea was ruled by the Goryeo dynasty (918–1392) and the Joseon dynasty (1392–1897). The succeeding Korean Empire (1897–1910) was annexed in 1910 into the Empire of Japan. Japanese rule ended following Japan's surrender in World War II, after which Korea was divided into two zones; a northern zone occupied by the Soviet Union and a southern zone occupied by the United States. After negotiations on reunification failed, the southern zone became the Republic of Korea in August 1948 while the northern zone became the communist Democratic People's Republic of Korea the following month.
