Remains of the Paleolithic Age were found in Danhyeon-ri
Yeoju-eup, Yeonyang-ri Yeoju-eup, and Naeyang-ri
Neungseo-myeon, and the Heunam-ri Prehistoric Settlement
site is famous for its remains of the Bronze Age.
Yeoju was among one of the important historical
locations together with Goguryeo and Dongye for
the Mahan·Baekje Era, and thus many historic remains
were created including Ipo, Sulcheonseong, Maeryong-ri
Ancient Tombs, etc. Golnaegeun-hyeon was established
in the Yeoju area and Sulcheon-gun in the Ipo area
475 years after Goguryeo’s southward movement (the
63rd Year of King Jangsu); they were renamed Hwanghyo-hyeon
and Kicheon-gun respectively 757 years after unification
of the three nations (the 16th Year of King Gyeongduk).
Hwanghyo-hyeon was renamed Hwangryeo-hyeon in 940
(the 23rd Year of King Taejo) and Gicheon-gun was
renamed Cheonnyeong-gun in 995 (the 14th Year of
King Seongjong). Hwangryeo-hyeon was renamed Youngui
in 1257 (the 44th Year of King Gojong) and promoted
to Yeoheung-gun in 1305 (the 31st Year of Choongryeol).
It was then promoted to Hwangryeo-bu in 1388 (the
14th Year of King Woo), bu downgraded to Yeoheung-gun
in 1389 (the 1st Year of King Gongyang).
In 1401 (the 1st Year of King Taejong), it was repromoted
to a ‘bu’ and Eumjuk-hyeon’s Eoeseoi-chon merged
with Yeoheung-gun. In 1413 (the 13th Year of King
Taejong), Hwagryeo-bu and Cheonnyeong-gun were reorganized
into Yeoheungdo-bu and Cheonnyeong-hyeon respectively.
In 1469 (the 1st Year of King Yejong), when the
Royal Shrine of King Sejong was moved to Mt. Bukseongsa,
Yeoheungdo-bu was promoted to Yeoju-mok, and Cheonnyeong-hyeon
merged with Yeoju-mok. In 1499 (the 19th Year of
King Seongjong), the old Cheonnyeong-hyeon’s residents
requested to be independence and were refused.
In 1895 (the 32nd Year of King Gojong), Yeoju-mok
was reorganized into a ‘gun’, according to the enactment
of the ‘23-bu System’ and was brought under the
control of Chungju-bu, which also included Gangcheon-myeon,
Wonju-gun. In 1896, it belonged once again to Gyeonggi-do
following the enactment of the ‘13-do System’ and
became a 3rd grade ‘gun’. In 1914, 15 myeons were
reduced to 9 myeons, and Yeoju-myeon was established
focusing on Junae-myeon and including part of Geungdong-myeon
and Sugye-myeon. Yeoju-myeon was promoted to Yeoju-eup
in 1941 and Gaegun-myeon merged into Yangpyeong-gun
in 1963. The Sanbuk branch was established in Geumsa-myeon
in 1970, but promoted to the independent Sanbuk-myeon
in 1989. The Ohak branch was established in 1992
and the present system of ‘1 eup, 9 myeon and 1
branch’ was complete.
