Naegok-dong

Naegok-dong (Korean: 내곡동) is a dong (neighbourhood) of Seocho District, Seoul, South Korea.

[1][2] 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.

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.
