Macheon-dong

Macheon-dong (Korean마천동) is in the dong neighbourhood of Songpa District, Seoul, South Korea.[circular reference]

Macheon-dong is believed to have derived its name from "Masan" (馬山), which is associated with the legend of General Im Gyeong-eop riding a dragon horse (Yongma) during the Manchu invasions. The area was historically part of Jungdae-myeon, Gwangju-gun, Gyeonggi Province, following the Joseon Dynasty.

In 1914, during the Japanese colonial period, Gyeonggi Province underwent a reorganization of administrative boundaries, and the local villages, including "Dolmudeogi" and "Gaunmaetmal," were merged and renamed Macheon-ri.

On January 1, 1963, with the expansion of Seoul's administrative boundaries, Macheon-dong was incorporated into Seongdong-gu. Later, on October 1, 1975, it became part of the newly established Gangnam-gu, and on October 1, 1979, it was transferred to Gangdong-gu. Finally, on January 1, 1988, when Songpa-gu was separated from Gangdong-gu, Macheon-dong became part of Songpa-gu, where it remains today.
