History

=Ancient era=

The first humans in Ansan were in the New Stone Age, and many shell middens and prehistoric remains were found at Oido, Sihwaho, Chojidong and Daebudo.{{cite book|last=Sin (신)|first=Daegwang (대광) |script-title=ko:청소년을 위한 안산 역사 이야기|year=2010|publisher=부민문화사|isbn=978-89-385-0118-9}}{{cite news |script-title=ko:시민의 힘으로 일구어 낸 '시흥 오이도 유적' (Korean)|url=http://news.naver.com/main/read.nhn?mode=LSD&mid=sec&sid1=106&oid=047&aid=0000001316|access-date=17 November 2013|newspaper=OhmyNews|date=1 April 2002}} In the Seonbu-dong and Wolpi-dong area, over 10 stone dolmen tombs could be found.{{cite journal|author1=Ansan|author2=Hanyang University|script-title=ko:안산시의 역사와 문화유적|journal=한양대학교 문화재연구소총서|year=2002|volume=4|url=http://www.hyicp.or.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=publication&wr_id=8|access-date=5 November 2013|publisher=Institute Of Cultural Properties, Hanyang University|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105073236/http://www.hyicp.or.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=publication&wr_id=8|archive-date=5 November 2013|url-status=dead}}{{rp|28}} Also in 1995, Old Stone Age relics were found while constructing the Seohaean Expressway.{{lang|ko|안산시 및 한양대학교 (2002년), 28쪽}}{{lang|ko|단국대학교 중앙박물관 (1995년), 〈구석기 유적 조사 보고〉, 《서해안 고속도로 건설구간(안산-안중 간) 유적 발굴조사 보고서(2)》에서}}. Most dolmens in Ansan are north dolmen, but the dolmen in Seonbu-dong are table-shaped and another table-shaped tomb was found in Hakon-dong, Gwangmyeong. There are many ancient relics found in the city.{{lang|ko|안산시 및 한양대학교 (2002년), 29쪽.}}{{lang|ko|한양대학교 박물관 (1997년), 《광명 가학동 지석묘 발굴조사보고》에서}}.

=Three Kingdoms and Goryeo eras=

Not much evidence or antiquities survive from the Proto-Three Kingdoms and Samhan periods are in Ansan and nearby areas.{{rp|29}} The Mahan confederacy in Chen Shou in Records of the Three Kingdoms preserves writings about the chiefdom state.{{lang|ko|이병도 (1959년), 《한국사 - 고대편》에서.}} Ansan was in communion with Baekje but very little has been saved.

In the Later Three Kingdoms era, the Ansan area was owned by Taebong (also known as Hugoguryeo, "Later Goguryeo") in Silla Hyogong's 4th year (AD 900).{{rp|31}} After then, Gung Ye, who was the ruler of Taebong, was overthrown by Wang Geon, and the Ansan area was turned over to Goryeo, founded by Wang Geon. First, the Gung Ye Ganggu-gun was changed to Ansan-gun but the state of the military was preserved.

=Joseon era=

Ansan belonged to Gyeonggijwa-do (left Gyeonggi Province) in the Joseon period. Taejo's 5th year (AD 1396), Ansan-eoso (meaning Ansan fishery) that is now under the direct control of a detached building of Saongwon (the Department of foods and meals in the Joseon dynasty) was set up.{{rp|32}} After Gyeonggijwa-do and Gyeonggiwo-do (right Gyeonggi province) were unified in Teajong's 2nd year (AD 1402), Ansan was still called Ansan. Under Teajong's 13th (1413), the whole country was detached into eight provinces.

=Modern era=

Until 1914, Ansan and the southern part of today's Siheung consisted of Ansan County. In 1914, Ansan County was annexed to Siheung County. This region produced high-quality salt from ancient times and valuable marine products. Ansan was then a fishing village.{{cite book|last=Shin (신)|first=Chong-il (정일)|trans-title=Rewirted T'aengniji |script-title=ko:다시 쓰는 택리지 |year=2004|publisher=Humanist|location=Sŏul-si|isbn=9788989899808|edition=1-p'an.}}

In 1986, several towns of Hwaseong county became incorporated, representing the beginning of Ansan as a city. With currently over 700,000 residents, Ansan now has two distinct and separate districts:Provisional changes including Guri and 11 cities and counties and permission of modification naming Naju.(1985.12.28.) from Constitution of the Republic of Korea Danwon, which has 12 dongs as of 2009, and Sangnok, with 13.

Economy

Because Ansan is a planned city built behind the Ansan Smart Hub following the government's industrial planning, the proportion of agriculture in the Ansan economy is very low. Meanwhile, as the government promoted a manufacturing industry plan in the Ansan area before Ansan was built, many people work in the manufacturing industry. There are two national industrial complexes, Banwol and Sihwa, as well as the local Banwol plating industrial complex.{{cite web|url=http://www.iansan.net/english/IndustryEconomy/InforBanwol.jsp?menuId=01015001|title=Information - Industry Economy - Ansan}}{{cite web|url=http://www.iansan.net/english/IndustryEconomy/InforPlating.jsp?menuId=01015001|title=Information - Industry Economy - Ansan}}{{cite web|url=http://www.iansan.net/english/IndustryEconomy/InforSihwa.jsp?menuId=01015001|title=Information - Industry Economy - Ansan}}

Cultural institutions and heritage

In the past, Ansan had fewer attractions and a poor reputation due to its industrial and fishing roots, but the east side of the city has recently experienced several beautification projects. The canal systems which bisect the city have bicycling and walking paths, and are covered with roses, tulips, and cherry blossoms in spring. A community bicycle system sponsored by the city is also available for park access and riding. Nowadays, Ansan has many museums and galleries, such as the Ansan Culture and Arts Center, Seongho Memorial Hall, Danwon Sculpture Park, and Hwarang Public Garden. Ansan has run city bus tours for cultural heritage sightseeing since 2008.{{cite web|title=Ansan Cultural Center_Official Website|url=http://www.ansanculture.or.kr/main.htm|access-date=2013-11-11|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130827034641/http://www.ansanculture.or.kr/main.htm|archive-date=2013-08-27|url-status=dead}}{{cite web |url=http://www.ansantour.net/ |script-title=ko:공식 홈페이지 |website=ansnantour.net |access-date=2019-05-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140517010745/http://ansantour.net/ |archive-date=2014-05-17 |url-status=dead }}.[http://www.dailian.co.kr/news/news_view.htm?id=115477 "안산시티투어로 안산여행 함께 떠나요"] Dailian, 2008.6.20.{{cite web |url=http://news.naver.com/main/read.nhn?mode=LSD&mid=sec&sid1=102&oid=001&aid=0002576074 |script-title=ko:안산시 4월부터 '시티투어' 재개 |agency=Yonhap News Agency |date=2009-03-27}}{{cite web |url=http://economy.hankooki.com/lpage/society/201003/e2010032318331693840.htm |script-title=ko:안산시, 관광명소 일일여행 '시티투어' 운행 |website=hankooki.com |date=2010-03-23 |access-date=2013-12-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131227055808/http://economy.hankooki.com/lpage/society/201003/e2010032318331693840.htm |archive-date=2013-12-27 |url-status=dead }}
