Wolmido (Korean: 월미도) is an island 1 kilometer (0.62 mi) off the coast of Incheon, South Korea.
[3] The Korean Traditional Garden at Wolmi Park (월미공원) was established in 2001 after the relocation of the Army base which had been located there for 50 years.
[3] On September 13, 1950, a naval gunfire support group composed of two US heavy cruisers, two British light cruisers, and six US destroyers began two days of neutralizing the North Korean People's Army (NKPA) artillery batteries on Wolmido Island, where NKPA troops were stationed, in preparation for the Incheon Landings.
On September 15, 1950, South Korean and United Nations troops, commanded by U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, landed on Wolmido Island and retook Incheon before pushing onto Seoul.
The battle was inspiration for the North Korean war film Wolmi Island produced in 1982.
