History of Bupyeong Market

According to Incheon City's local heritage records, Incheon City led the founding of a public market in Bupyeong in 1948.
According to the same records, when the New Market opened in 1952, the existing Bupyeong Market came to be called the Old Market, and Jayu Market opened in the 1950s.
In 1962, Jayu Market changed its name to Bupyeong Market and served as the public market; in 1971, Bupyeong Market became a private market and changed its name to Bupyeong Jayu Market.
Bupyeong Culture Street opened in 1998.
Bupyeong Jonghap Market and Bupyeong Kkang Market were registered as markets in 2007 and Bupyeong Culture Street in 2013, and Bupyeong Jayu Market was demolished in 2018.
In 2025, Incheon City grouped Bupyeong Jonghap Market, Bupyeong Kkang Market and Bupyeong Culture Street and selected the 'Bupyeong Market Area' as Incheon Local Heritage.
As reasons for the selection, Incheon City cited the market's growth along with the area's history, such as a US military base stationed there after liberation and an export industrial complex built in the late 1960s. It also cited the layout of several markets bordering one another.
According to a Bupyeong-gu press release, in the Small and Medium Business Administration's 2017 traditional market support program, Bupyeong Culture Street was selected as a culture and tourism market and Bupyeong Kkang Market as an alley market.
From 2022 to 2026, Bupyeong-gu is running a Commercial District Renaissance project around Bupyeong Culture Street, Theme Street, Bupyeong Underground Shopping Center and Sijang Rotary Underground Shopping Center.
