Title
The name “Kwanak” first appeared in official use on January 1, 1963, when a part of Gyeonggi-do (Tömön County, Sihung (in 1989, the county received city status), cor.) Was transferred to the jurisdiction of Seoul. with the name "Kvanak" (Kor. 관악 출장소). The name "Kwanakku" was officially assigned to the area in accordance with the decree of President Pak Chon Hee on March 12, 1973 [1] .
Location on a city map
In the north, Gwanakku borders with Tonjakku , in the east - with Sochhoga , in the south-east and south - with the territory of the capital satellite town of Gwacheon , and in the west - with the district of Kimcheongu .
History
Initially, the territory of the current Gwanakku was annexed to the possessions of the state Paekche van Kynchyhoi ( cor. ? , 近 肖 古 王? ), But after several decades passed under the control of the Goguryo state.
Toward the middle of the 1960s, the Gwanakku territory changed its status, moving from the province of Gyeonggi-do and joining the Yondin Pogu metropolitan area. At that time, it was a district in which there were neither large enterprises, nor expensive houses, nor well-planned parks, and which was mostly inhabited by poor people. The development of the district was given a sharp leap in no small measure due to the transfer of the Seoul National University from Jongnogu to Kwanakku by the decree of President Pak Chon Hee in February 1975.
On July 1, 1973, Gwanakku, of which Sochhogu and Tonjakku were then part, separated from the Yondinphogu region, gaining the status of self-government [4] .
After a little over two years, on October 1, 1975 , Gwanakku and Yondyngpogu “exchanged” parts of the districts — part of Toxandon (box) departed Kwanakku, and in exchange Yondinphogu received Tebandon (box 대방동) and part of Sindabandon (box) .
On April 1, 1980, by the decree of President Choi Kyu Ha from the Gwanakku district, the Tonjakku region was allocated.
The modern boundaries of Gwanakku were established on January 1, 1988, when part of the Kurogu district was transferred to Gwanakku.
General characteristics
The Kvanaksan City Nature Park (관악산 도시 자연 공원) is a popular holiday destination. There is an artificial lake on the territory of the park, fountains, mountain trails are laid for fans of mountain climbing, and every weekend a large number of people come to the park to climb several peaks that are part of the Kvanaksan mountain (cor. 관악산).
In 2008, in the conditions of the financial crisis that was gaining momentum, the Seoul city hall decided to allocate large financial resources to improve the territories of city parks, including Kvanaksan Park. According to the plan of the mayor's office, about 2 billion 800 million won were allocated from the budget of the mayor's office for upgrading the territory of the Kvanaksan park, which is more than 2,230,000 US dollars (according to the exchange rate of May 31, 2009) [5] .
The district has Seoul National University , as well as 58 schools (of which 2 are specialized and 2 professional) and 38 kindergartens [6] .
