History
The Hangang River, also known as the Han River, has played a significant role in the history and development of Seoul, the capital city of South Korea. Here's an overview of its historical significance:
Early Settlements: The Hangang River area has been inhabited for thousands of years. Its fertile plains and access to water made it an attractive location for early settlements. The river served as a natural boundary and a source of water and transportation for these settlements.
Trade and Transportation: Throughout history, the Hangang River has been a vital trade route. It allowed goods to be transported inland from the coast and facilitated the movement of people and resources. This trade played a key role in the growth of Seoul as a commercial center.
