History

Inje is located in the North of Gangwon Province. Inje County has been called multiple names throughout its history. It was first known as Jeojokhyeon in the Goguryeo Kingdom, then Heejaehyeon in the Silla Kingdom, and Inje in the Goryeo Dynasty. The area was then known as Youngsohyeon and once again later on became Inje in the Joseon Dynasty. It was finally raised to the status of Inje county in August of 1896.[1] At the end of the Japanese occupation of Korea in 1945, Korea was split into 13 distinctive administrative zones, and Inje County was located in Kangwon Province, and for a short time was under the administration of North Korea. After the Partition of Korea, this historical province was split in half and Inje County fell under the jurisdiction of South Korea.[2]

Korean War

The Republic of Korea Army ROK) 5th Infantry Division recaptured Inje town in Operation Rugged in April 1951 as the UN Forces advanced to the Kansas Line, north of the 38th Parallel.[3]

Inje town was lost again to the Chinese People's Volunteer Army during the Fifth Phase Offensive in late April 1951 and was recaptured in the UN May-June 1951 counteroffensive.[3]Шаблон:Rp

Geography

Among the basic local governments in Korea, it ranks second in terms of area after Hongcheon and most of Inje-gun on the 38th parallel belonged to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Also the remaining areas were incorporated into Shinnam-myeon and Naeyeon, Hongcheon-gun. After the Korean War, most of the borders of Gangwon-do went north and became Inje-gun, but the inner side was not restored and remained under the jurisdiction of Hongcheon-gun. There are many famous hills, such as Jinbu-ryeong, Misiryeong, Hangyeryeong, Eunbi-ryeong, and Gom-Bae-ryeong. Although it is in the Yeongseo area, it is a point connecting Yeongseo and Yeongdong, so the rent is inevitable. It is also sad that it took 102 steps (which has now been disbanded) to go to Gangwon Province at all, but it is natural that it is a very difficult area to serve.

The dwelling is formed on a narrow flatland along the river, and the Inbukcheon River, which runs through Naerincheon Stream, Seohwa, and Wontong area, meets in Inje-eup and flows into Soyangho Lake.

Inje-gun was Chuncheon because it was located in the Soyanggang River basin in the northern region, and its language also uses a Yeongseo dialect similar to Chuncheon. .[8] However, it is difficult to see it as a living area in Chuncheon at present, but the road to go quickly to the construction of the Soyanggang Dam has been submerged, and in the midst of this, the expansion of 44th street has led to active exchanges between Hongcheon - Inje - Sokcho. Expansion Hongcheon - Inje - Sokcho It can be seen as an extended East Seoul living area.

Like the front area of Gangwon-do, it is very cold in winter. The average annual temperature is 10,1 °C, the average temperature of January, the coldest month, is -5,2 °C, the average temperature of August, the coldest month is 23,3 °C, and the lowest temperature ever recorded in January 1981 is -25, 9 °C, the highest temperature ever recorded on January is -25,9 °C all-time, 37,7 °C on August 1, 2018. The average annual precipitation is 1,210 mm.

Located on the border of Mt. [9] And on January 8, 2021, -29.1 °C was unofficially recorded at Hyangrobong, making it the coldest in the country.

Instead, you might think summer is cool, but it's not at all. It would be better than the rear area, but even in summer, as long as it doesn't rain, 30 °C is so hot that it's standard. As mentioned above, during the heatwave in 2018, 37.7 °C was recorded. Think of it as a typical continental climate.
