Central Post Office

This was the first modern post office in Korea, officially opened on lunar October 1, 1884 (21st year of Gojong’s reign). While it handles work similar to that of today's post offices, it was established as an independent organization due to the fact that the postal system at that time was not yet structured and organized. At the time of its founding, a branch office also opened in Incheon, which allowed the Central Post Office to connect its post office work between the two cities.
