Dongchon-ri Village in Hwacheon

 

It is harmonized with a lake, mountains, and valleys.  It borders with the truce line at the northern end of Gangwon-do.

Originally it was in the district of Gandong-myeon, Hwacheon-gun.  Located on the east side of Hwacheon-eup, it was called Dongchon-ri (east village).  But when the administrative districts were reorganized in 1914, it was called Dongcheon, merged with a part of Taesan-ri.  After the Hwacheon reservoir was dammed up, the transportation to Gandong-myeon has become inconvenient.  So it moved to Hwacheon-eup and has been merged with Taesan-ri.
