Goryeo-dong Historic Site was founded by Yi O, a scholar of Goryeo who had unwavering loyalty to the Goryeo dynasty even after it fell. The village naturally formed by his descendants. Yi O built a stone fence around the area and called it Goryeo-donghak, meaning the home of Goryeo refugees. Yi never did serve the new government and asked his sons to also never serve the new kingdom or to move his body after he died. For over 600 years, 19 generations of Yi O have remained here, honoring his memory.
