Bunwon-ri in Gwangju took an important role of ceramic production during the Kingdom of Joseon. There had official kilns and produced superb quality of white porcelains for use at the royal court and to export to China.[3]
In 1962, 4 myeons (townships) including 5 ris (villages) were incorporated to Seoul.[4]
In 1973, 6 ris were separated and became a part of Seongnam city. In 1979, Gwangju-myeon was elevated to an eup. Gwangju county became a city in 2001.[5]

^John Onians (2004). Atlas of World Art. Laurence King Publishing. p. 205p. ISBN978-1-85669-377-6. Government-sponsored kilns at punwon-ri, near Seoul, produced an exquisite and distinctive Joseon white porcelain for use at court and for export to China. Its undecorated cream-colored surfaces, and austere elegant shapes were thought to reflect a purity of mind and moral character appropriate for Neo-Confucian patrons.
