Origin of the name
[change | change source]Jichuk Station is named after the administrative area (dong) where it is. The area used to be two villages in the Joseon period. Jijeong-ri produced paper. Chuk-ri was famous for its bush clover. When the area became united under Goyang-gun, it was named using the first syllables of the two villages.[3]
