Most of the area is hilly with a gentle slope and has been designated as a development restricted area. In 1925, due to the great flood, a ship was washed down here. The name of the dong derives from the fact that the villagers used to cross a bridge by boat, so they called it Baedari at first. During the Joseon Dynasty, it belonged to Goyang-gun, Hanseong-bu, and in 1914 it was Jugyo-ri, Wondang-myeon, Goyang-gun. In 1979, it was changed to Jugyo-ri, Wondang-eup, Goyang-gun, and in 1992, when Goyang-gun was promoted to a city, it became a bishop-dong. In 1996, when relief was implemented, it became the jurisdiction of Deokyang-gu. The administrative and legal names are the same. Natural villages include Masanggol, Park Jaegung, Witbaedari, Utmal, and Ijakgol. Masangol was called Masangol, and then changed to Masanggol because of the great power of Masangol, the wealthy and wealthy people of Masangol with a surname. In the past, Yijakgol was called Yuja-dong, where many Yu clan lived. Park Jae-gung, a natural village, was called Park Jae-gung and Park Ja-gung because it was said that there was an oxygen and a residence of the Miryang Park clan, who served as Sangsang-gun during the Goryeo Dynasty. Since 1914, it has been the center of local administration as the location of Wondang-myeon, Wondang-eup, and Wondang-gun. There are Wonneung Station, Goyang City Hall, and public health center, and transportation is convenient as the Seoul Suburban Railway, National Road 39, Local Road 310, and the Seoul Outer Ring Expressway intersect.

History

It is an administrative dong in the northwest of Deokyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do. The name jugyo-ri (舟橋) appears for the first time in 『Goyang Gunji』 published during the Joseon Dynasty. It is said that there were Parkjaegungchon, Lee Inggok, Sageunjeol, and Seongrashinchon in the bishop's village, along with the record 'jugyo-ri' village in Wondang-myeon (元堂面) Lee Pa-ri'. In the 『Local Map of 1872』, it is marked as Jugyo-ri in the central part of Goyang-gun. Lee Par-ri was changed to Park Jae-gung, Bishop Sang-ri, Bishop Hari, Sageun-sari, and Sampa-ri due to the reorganization of administrative districts in 1906. In 1979, it became Jugyo-ri, Wondang-eup, and with the promotion to Goyang-si in 1992, it became an administrative dong that had jurisdiction over Jugyo-dong and Seongsa-dong. There are two theories about the origin of the name jugyo-dong. First of all, before the construction of the Han River embankment in the early 1930s, there was a river leading to the Han River in front of the village. Due to the great flood in 1925, a boat was washed down to this village. Another theory is that this is because the topography of the village is shaped like a ship. Therefore, the name of jugyo-dong can be considered as the Chinese character of Baedari. Currently, there is a natural village called Witbaedari, the bishop's Hangeul place name.
