History

In the 1970s, as a result of urban planning initiatives, Yeokchon-dong was developed into a residential area. On 1 September 1985, it was divided into two sub-districts, namely Yeokchon 1-dong and Yeokchon 2-dong. However, on 2 June 2008, these sub-districts were merged and unified under the name Yeokchon-dong.^[3]
