Dongchon (Korean동촌) was the 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 neighborhoods (dong) of Dong District of Daegu 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 neighborhoods of the expanding Daegu. The historic Town Office of Dongchon was located in the Ipseok-dong area, which is now crowded with people.
