Daerim-dong is a dong , neighbourhood of Yeongdeungpo-gu in Seoul , South Korea . ^{[1] [2]}

Overview [ edit ]

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 Dynasty , it was part of Geumcheonhyeon Sangbuk-myeon Wonjimok-ri. Over the years, it went through various administrative changes, belonging to different regions and counties. In 1949, it became part of Seoul as Sindorim-dong in Yeongdeungpo-gu . In 1955, the administrative district of Daerim-dong was established, governing the legal districts of Sindorim-dong and Sindae-dong.

Subsequent changes in district names and boundaries led to the designation of the remaining area of Sindorim-dong in Yeongdeungpo-gu as the legal district of Daerim-dong, which remains unchanged to this day.
