From July 2027, Incheon Metropolitan City will increase one district from the current system and change to two counties and nine districts.

Instead of defense-oriented names such as Dong-gu and Seo-gu, Jemulpo, Yeongjong, and Geomdan-gu are reborn according to the characteristics of the neighborhood.

Incheon City's administrative system will be reorganized into 2nd District 9th District for the first time in 31 years.

The existing inland of Jung-gu and Dong-gu are combined to create Jemulpo-gu.

Yeongjongdo Island, which already has a population of more than 100,000, is independent of Yeongjonggu.

The existing West, which has a population of more than 600,000 people, is divided into the West and Geomdan-gu, centering on the Ara Waterway.

In order to reform the administrative system for the first time in 31 years, the Incheon Metropolitan Government has begun to convert administrative information.

This is to ensure that the civil service of the new district can be smoothly continued without interruption.

In addition, an administrative consultative body was formed for the success of Jemulpo-gu, which is born by combining the two existing regions.
