Introduction

During the late Joseon Dynasty, barter was very popular and merchants living in Honam regions mainly crossed Bangogae to visit the large markets in Daesin-dong (Present Seomun Market). Also, the merchants used to take a rest at grassy Bongogae and fed their cow while taking the rest.

Also, during the Joseon Dynasty, Bangogae was also called the Wind Hill for its steep and high hill with strong winds.
Between the late Joseon Dynasty and Japanese colonial period, the merchants frequently encountered groups of robbers. To cross the hill, about 100 merchants had to gather and they could not cross the hill in the night time. That’s how the hill got its name ‘Night Hill’.
Some people also say that the hill was called ‘Chestnut Hill’ because of the chestnut trees on the hill.
