HISTORY

History of Jeju City

Jeju City, occupying the whole area of the north of Jeju Island, is where the forefathers of Tamna(old name of Jeju) originated. During the Joseon dynasty, Cheomjesa or governing bodywas established and during the reign of King Taejong an Anmusa and Moksa or a county magistrate governed the three districtsof Jeju, Jeongeui, and Daejeong. In 1910, under the Japanese colonization, Jeongeui, and Daejeong were combined and incorporated into Jeju. Chuja Island was also incorporated into Jeju after the separationfrom Wando County of Jeollanam-do (South Jeolla Province). In May 1919, the county system was abolished and changed into a Do system (islandunit) under the jurisdiction of Jeollanam-do.

In March 1931, Jeju's status was promoted from 'myeon' (Township) to 'eup' (Town). Under the U.S. forces administration in South Korea in August 1946, after liberation from Japanese oppression, Jeju gained independence from Jeollanam-do and had two counties, Bukjeju-gun (North Jeju) and Namjeju-gun (South Jeju). This lasted until September 1, 1955. when, pursuant to law No.368, Jeju-eup was separated from Bukjeju-gun and was elevated to Jeju City.

Jeju City reorganized the old administrative divisions of 25 'ri' (villages) into 40 'dong' (neighborhoods). On January 1, 1962, according to a special ruling to improve small units in the administration, 40 dong were reformed to 14 dong. On May 23, 1979, Ildo-dong was divided into two dongs: Ildo 1-dong and Ildo 2-dong. Also, Ido-dong was divided into Ido 1-dong and Ido 2-dong, and Yondong was created. On October 1, 1983, Samdo-dong was separated into two dongs and Yongdam-dong was divided into two dongs on October 1, 1985. Until the merger, Jeju was an autonomous city of 414 tong (sub-division of dong) and 19 dong systems.

Bukjeju-gun elevated Hallim's status from 'myeon' to 'eup' and divided the western district of Hallim and created Hankyeong-myeon in that area on July 8, 1956. The promotion in status of Aewol-myeon and Gujwa-myeon was made to 'eup' on December 1, 1980, and Jocheon-myeon to Jocheon-eup on October 1, 1985. Yeonpyung branch office in Gujwa-eup was separated and was raised to Udo-myeon on April 1, 1986. Thus, the autonomouscounty was administered in the 4 eup, 3 myeon and 96 ri system.

The single metropolitan governing system was decided by referendum on July 1, 2005. In the following year on January 11th, Special Law No. 7847 on Jeju-do Administrative System was proclaimed and Jeju special self-governing province was launched on July 1, 2006 with the incorporationof Bukjeju-gun into Jeju City. The new administrative city of Jeju has 4 eup, 3 myeon, 19 dong, and 414 tong, and serves a leading and pivotal role in the Jeju special self-governing province.
