Daerim-dong (Korean: 대림동) is a dong (neighborhood) of Yeongdeungpo District, Seoul, South Korea.
[1][2] The name "Daerim" is a combination of characters from neighboring areas, Sindae-dong and Sindorim-dong.
Contrary to its name, Daerim-dong was not historically a forested area but rather a grassy field and pastureland along the Dorimcheon stream.
During the Joseon period, it was part of Geumcheonhyeon Sangbuk-myeon Wonjimok-ri.
In 1949, it became part of Seoul as Sindorim-dong in Yeongdeungpo District.
