Naegok-dong (Korean: 내곡동) is a dong (neighbourhood) of Seocho District, Seoul, South Korea.
Overview
Naegok-dong, formerly part of the historical Eonju district, was initially situated within the central village, known in Chinese characters as 'Angol' or 'Anmal'. Over time, this area evolved into Naegok-dong, located near the base of Guryong Mountain within Seocho District. It resides within a basin surrounded by mountains, including Guryong Mountain in Seocho District and Inreungsan, which forms the boundary with Seongnam.
Presently, Naegok-dong comprises various natural villages such as Heonneungmal, Saemmaeul, Neunganmaeul, and Sinheungmaeul. Historically, during the Joseon period, the area accommodated Heoninreung, inhibiting residential expansion, and was densely forested with sightings of wildlife like tigers and foxes. The Gyeongju Kim clan first settled in Naegok-dong.
Surrounding mountains include Guryong Mountain in Seocho District and Inneungsan, marking the border with Seongnam. On Guryong Mountain's slopes in Naegok-dong, Yeongneung (英陵), originally the burial site of King Sejong the Great, was relocated to Yeoju in 1469 (Year 1 of King Yejong). Hyeonneung and Inneung are currently situated at 13-1 San, Naegok-dong.
