History
Gojan-dong, under the jurisdiction of Hosu-dong, was called Gojan-ri, Inhwa-myeon, Ansan-gun during the Joseon Dynasty, and was renamed Gojan-ri, Suam-myeon, Siheung-gun in 1914.
There were Dori Island and Chilban as natural villages, and Dori Island is a village that looks like an island in the southwest of Gojan Station, and it is said to have been called Dori Island because it is wet when it is measured in Namyang area of Hwaseong-gun. Chilban was formed when refugees from Woongjin and Yeonbaek in Hwanghae-do were constructed on reclaimed land.
Currently, many changes have been made through the creation of large-scale apartment complexes in accordance with the second stage development plan of Ansan New Town.
