History Wonchon-hyeon/Dolsan-hyeon was the name of Yeosu in the 16th year of King Seong(538 A.D.) who was the king of Baekje Dynasty. Then the name changed to Haeub-hyeon/Yeosan-hyeon in 757 and to Yeosu-hyeon/Dolsan-hyeon in 940. Since 1479, there had been a Joseon Dynasty's Naval Headquarters. And in 1897, Yeosu was called Yeosu-myeon as a part of Yeosu-gun, which was a new county. In 1914, Yeosu-gun merged with Dolsan-gun, so Yeosu-gun was bigger than before.

So they made a unified city, Yeosu.
