Having been incorporated into Daegu

edit

Gunwi County was part of the North Gyeongsang Province until June 30, 2023, and incorporated into Daegu Metropolitan City since July 1, 2023.

This decision was made because Gunwi County demanded incorporating Gunwi County into Daegu in exchange for allowing Daegu International Airport to be moved into Gunwi County.

Therefore Daegu International Airport is going to be moved into Sobo-myeon, Gunwi County in 2030.
