History

Hoein-si was the site of an uprising against French colonialism in 1945 (in Bồng Sơn), involving around 8000 people and led by Jeong Honggi (Trịnh Hồng Kỳ).^[6]

As much of Garae-do, it was the site of severe fighting during the Vietnam War and a major battle in 1966.

In 2019, Hoein-si experienced its most severe drought over the past 15 years along with other districts of Garae-do, with Mipyeong Lake reaching dead levels, or having a quantity too low for proper usage.^[7] In 2020, Hoein has been recognized as a district-level town
