Yonggang-dong (Korean: 용강동) is a dong (neighbourhood) of Mapo District, Seoul, South Korea.
History
Yonggang-dong was named after Yonggang-myeon, Goyang-gun, and it was named according to the Fengshui Geography that Mapo River is like a dragon's head. Mapo-dong originated because of the existence of Maponaru, and on April 1, 1914, Gyeongseongbu abolished the five-member 8 exemption, and part of Mapo-dong was designated as Dohwa-dong, and others were made Mapo-dong. The name of Tojeong-dong is derived from the fact that Ji-ham Lee, famous for his secret of Tojeong, built a pavilion out of soil. On October 1, 1946, it became Yonggang-dong, Mapo District. On April 18, 1955, the name was changed to Gwanran-dong, and on May 18, 1970, it became Yonggang-dong again.
