History

Lack of electricity

Janggwari has forgone almost all electricity to preserve their sense of tradition, however a handful of exceptions have been tolerated in the village's small town hall; a defibrillator, a single telephone in the mayor's office and the only air-conditioner for miles around. The lack of electrical appliances and lighting is the town's main claim to fame. People have been known to move to Janggwari in search of a simple life, and visits to the village by nearby schools are common.

Twin towns

Janggwari is a founding member of the Ssangdosi, a town-twinning project which aims to recruit one town or village from every country in the world.
