  Gyeongseong Information
Gyeongseong is a Sino-Korean word for "capital city," and was in occasional use to refer to Seoul throughout the Joseon Dynasty, having earlier referred to the capitals of Goryeo and Silla.
Seoul was called Hanseong during the Joseon Dynasty, but the city's main railway station opened with the name "Gyeongseong Station" in 1900, which name it retained until 1905.
It was called Gyeongseong Station again from 1915 to 1947, when it assumed its current name.

After 1931 as the Japanese Imperialists were involved in the Manchurian Incident, the Chinese-Japanese War and the Pacific War and the Japanese Imperialists set Joseon as the supply center for the continent while putting Gyeongseong as the center, the issue of Cheonggyeoicheon was to be considered seriously.
This was so called " The Great Gyeongseong Plan" and by the ordinance of city planning in 1934, the overall reform of Seoul was initiated in full scale.
It came out of the judgment that the facilities in those days couldn't afford the increased demand of transportation by the Great Gyeongseong Plan if 1 gun and 8 myeons were included newly in Gyeongseong including Yeongdeungpo.
