The first historical record of Gyeyang-gu goes back to the Goguryeo kingdom in 470 AD under the name of Jubuto-gun. It was renamed to Bupyeong-dohobu in 1413 AD. It was later renamed Gyeyang-myeon and it was renamed again Buk-Gu (North Ward), Incheon as it was annexed to Incheon in 1989. Bupyeong-gu, Gyeyang-gu, and Seo-gu were all formed out of this ward. Seo-gu was separated out in 1988, and both Gyeyang-gu, and Bupyeong-gu were formed in 1995.[1]
Location
Gyeyang-gu borders Bupyeong-gu to the south, Seo-gu to the west, Seoul's Gangseo-gu and Bucheon city to the east, and Gimpo city's Gochon-myeon to the north.
