Origin of the name

The name Hwangseong is believed to have originated from the presence of a fortress (seong) that existed in the area during the Silla period. The term Hwangseong (皇城) translates to "Imperial Fortress" or "Royal Castle."

Historically, the area was referred to as Goseong-dong (古城洞), meaning "Old Fortress Neighborhood." According to local elder accounts, the remnants of the former fortress are presumed to have been an earthen structure (toseong). Traces of the fortress are reported to remain faintly visible in the area stretching from behind the traditional archery range within Hwangseong Park, past the Memorial Tower, and toward the public stadium. The terrain features a higher elevation to the south and a lower elevation to the north. Over time, the visible remains of the structure have continued to diminish.
