When the Korean War broke out in 1950, the United States Armed Forces set up Camp Hialeah as the base command for the area around Busan and built it on a site in the districts of Beomjeon, Yeonji and Yangjeong. The area was used by Japan during the occupation of Korea as a racing track and training ground for the mounted troops of the Imperial Japanese Army .
