History: Hanam, a city with 2,000 years of history, was founded by King Onjoe of Bakjae when he designated the place a capital city. Throughout the Georyo and Joseon dynasties, the region served as an important strategic center.
Geography: The Han River flows to Seoul from Paldang Dam and opposite lies a basin area with fertile land surrounded by the Gumdan and Namhan mountains. Although development of the region was delayed by a law in 1970 prohibiting land development of 98.4% of the region’s land, Hanam is now the most desirable place to live around the metropolitan area. It is striving to maintain its natural environment while at the same time developing into a future-oriented garden city. The region is important ecologically due to its well preserved environment and a basin surrounded by the Chungryang and Geomdan mountains.
Culture: the region is developing into a cultural, sports, and environmental city with beautiful scenery around Paldang Dam and prehistoric remains in Misa-ri, Iesung Fortress, a pagoda in Chungyeug-ri and a rowing/canoeing complex.
