Etymology
[edit]Mado (麻道) received its name during the early years of the Joseon Dynasty, when trade with China was active through the sea, when a Chinese envoy wore a hemp cloth and rode a boat from Haemun-ri, Mado-myeon to China.[1]
History
[edit]At the end of the Joseon Dynasty, the Ssangsu and Mado townships, then part of Namyang County, were merged to become Mado Township. When the Japanese colonial administration's merged administrative districts on March 1, 1914 it became part of Suwon County. Later, when the town of Suwon was upgraded to city status in 1949, it became Mado Township, part of Hwaseong County.
On March 21, 2001, Mado Township became part of the City of Hwaseong when Hwaseong was reclassified from a county to a city.

조선말 남양군(南陽郡) 관할의 쌍수리면(雙守里面)과 마도면(麻道面)이 1914년 3월 1일 일제의 행정구역 통폐합에 의해 합쳐져 마도면이라 하고 수원군에 소속되었습니다. 이후 1949년에 수원읍이 시로 승격됨에 따라 화성군 마도면으로 되었고 2001년 3월 21일 화성시 승격에 따라 화성시 마도면이 되었습니다. 마도면의 麻道는 중국과 해상을 통해 무역이 활발하던 조선초에 중국사신이 麻依(삼베옷)를 입고 마도면 해문리 지역에서 배를 타고 중국으로 건너다녔다 하여 麻道로 불리게 되었습니다.
