Gwangju (; pronounced as /ko/) is a city in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, a suburb southeast of Seoul. The city is not to be confused with the much larger Gwangju Metropolitan City, former capital of South Jeolla Province, or Guangzhou, the city of Guangdong, China in Hanja.
Bunwon-ri in Gwangju took an important role of ceramic production during the Kingdom of Joseon. There had official kilns and produced superb quality of white porcelains for use at the royal court and to export to China.[2]
In 1962, 4 myeons (townships) including 5 ris (villages) were incorporated to Seoul.[3]
In 1973, 6 ris were separated and became a part of Seongnam city. In 1979, Gwangju-myeon was elevated to an eup. Gwangju county became a city in 2001.[4]
