01 · HISTORY

How this neighborhood remembers change

Joseon

Government and education share a local center

The Incheon Dohobu office and local Confucian school represented civil administration, education, and ritual life.

Modern city expansion

The old center becomes part of a larger city

Roads, housing, and metropolitan institutions absorbed the historic center into modern Incheon.

Today

A civic route spans ritual and mass events

Walking from the heritage sites to Munhak Stadium makes the change in civic scale immediately visible.
