Dongchon, also called myeon, was name of a historical township in the present day Dalseong County of North Gyeongsang province in South Korea. The area corresponds to the present day neighbourhoods ( dong) of Dong District of Daegu metropolitan city in the southwestern part of Korean Peninsula. It was earlier known as the "Haean-myeon", which in 1940 was renamed to "Dongchon-myeon", and in 1958 it officially became one of the neighbourhoods of the expanding Daegu metropolitan city. The historic Town Office of Dongchon was located in the Ipseok-dong area, which is now crowded with people.
