Haenam County

Haenam County has been inhabited since the Neolithic. Relics of the Bronze Age, such as dolmens and shell mounds, were discovered here.English page of Haenam county The term Haenam appeared during the Goryeo dynasty but a definite record does not exist. After 1895 (32nd year of King Gojong in the Joseon dynasty) it came to be called as Haenam-gun, and became the biggest county in Jeonnam.

Haenam is attracting attention with its birth rate more than double the average in South Korea.{{Cite news|url=http://www.ibabynews.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=34977|title=전국 출산율 1위, 해남군일 수밖에 없는 이유(The reason why it has to be Haenam, Korea's top fertility rate)|last=이(Lee)|first=정윤(Jung Yoon)|date=2015-10-23|work=베이베뉴스(Baby News)}} In '2014 Birth Statistics', its total fertility rate was 2.4 per person, making it the nation's first birth rate. This is the result of various childbirth policies implemented by the birth policy team. Some of these policies are introduced.

1. It is the settlement of worry about housing arrangement. The sale price of apartments in Jeollanamdo, which Haenam County belongs to, is less than half the national average. To get a 99 square meters apartment, you need 152 million won (Korean currency unit). This is not only a quarter of the Seoul apartment sale price, but also less than the private rent price.
2. It is an extraordinary birth grant. In Haenam County, if you give birth to the first child, 3 million won will be paid. If you give birth to a second child, you will receive 3.5 million won. If you give birth to a third child, you will receive 6 million won. If you have a fourth child, you will receive 7,200,000 won.
3. It is a witty birth related program. Haenam notifies the birth of the baby through the local newspaper and plans harmony of local residents. In addition, there are many interesting programs such as 'Dad Camp for the Land', which encourages dad to take part in housekeeping and housework, a 'stroller marching concert' that all residents can enjoy, and 'escape trip to the end of the earth' for unmarried men and women.
4. Finally, job creation is through agricultural and marine products and food-specific complexes. Haenam is actively working on building a wealthy farming and fishing village, focusing on the issue of jobs and cultivating processed sweet potatoes and eco-friendly items. The 'Haenam Food Specialization Complex', a food manufacturing and agro-industrial complex based on eco-friendly farming, aquatic and livestock products, is currently sold under the guidance of the military.
