History

In ancient tribal times, Suwon was known as Mosu-guk of Mahan confederacy. During the Proto–Three Kingdoms period era, however, the area comprising modern Suwon and Hwaseong City was called Maehol-gun.

In 757, under King Gyeongdeok of the Unified Silla, the name was changed to Suseong-gun. In 940 during the Goryeo dynasty changed again in to Suju. King Taejong of the Joseon dynasty renamed the city to Suwon in 1413.

In 1592, during the Imjin wars, Commander Yi Kwang attempted to launch his army toward the capital city, Seoul (at the time called Hanseong). The army was withdrawn, however, after news that the city had already been sacked reached the commander. As the army grew in size to 50,000 men with the accumulation of several volunteer forces, Yi Kwang and the irregular commanders reconsidered their aim to reclaim the capital, and led the combined forces north to Suwon.
