Origin of the name

Jichuk Station is named after the administrative area (dong) that it is located in. The area used to belong to two villages in the Joseon period. Jijeong-ri produced paper, while Chuk-ri was famous for its bush clovers. When the area became united under Goyang-gun, it was named using the first syllables of the two villages.
