Dorim-dong (Korean: 도림동) is a dong (neighborhood) of Yeongdeungpo District, Seoul, South Korea.
[1][2] Dorim-dong, originally referred to as "Dojimiri" or "Dwaeumiri," derived its name from the mountainous landscape that once encased it, resembling a fortress-like setting, despite its transformation into a residential locale.
During the Joseon period, Dorim-dong thrived as an agricultural hub, benefitting from its moist terrain ideal for cultivating barley, millet, maize, and beans.
The vicinity near Dorimcheon witnessed the cultivation of buckwheat and adzuki beans, with the introduction of barley farming facilitated by the construction of levees.
Historically, the Dorim-dong region was delineated by natural boundaries, often denoted by names like Moratmal, Dwaejimaeul, and Jumakgeori during the Joseon era.
