Jangan District
Jangan District (), established on July 1, 1988, is the northern district of the city of Suwon in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. It is approximately 15 km. from central Seoul. Geography Jangan District lies in the north of Suwon. It is bordered by Uiwang to the north-west, Yongin to the north and east, Yeongtong District to the south-east, Paldal District to the south and Gwonseon District to the south west. Jangan District's northern border, with Yongin, is the mountain of Gwanggyosan. At 582 metres above sea level, this is Suwon's highest point. Most of the streams passing through Suwon originate in Jangan District, on Gwanggyosan or other nearby peaks. Since Suwon is bounded to the east by other hills, the streams, chiefly the Suwoncheon, flow southwards through the city, eventually emptying into the Yellow Sea at Asan Bay. The entirety of Suwon is drained in this manner. Administrative divisions The administrative "dong" (wards) of Jangan District are as follow. ...

Gwonseon District
Gwonseon District () is the south-western district of the city of Suwon in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. History Gwonseon in “Gwonseonjingak” (勸善懲惡) refers to “encouraging virtue.” The district’s name originates from Gwonseon-dong, which was located at the center of the area when it was established in 1988. The name traces back to the late Goryeo period, when a scholar named Lee Go lived in seclusion on Mount Paldal and came down to Mangcheon (now the Suwoncheon area) to encourage people to live virtuously. This story became the basis for the name “Gwonseon-dong.” In 1988, when Suwon’s population surpassed 500,000, the southern part of the city was established as Gwonseon-gu, while the northern part became Jangan-gu. At that time, areas such as Maesan-ro in front of Suwon Station, Godeung-dong, Ingye-dong, Maetan-dong, and Woncheon-dong were all under Gwonseon-gu’s jurisdiction.
