History
The region was originally called Songjeongri(松亭里) during the Joseon dynasty because of its thick pine trees. In 1914, the region merged with neighboring Nuleori(訥語里) and Soyulri(小栗里) to form Songjeongri under Kimpo. From 1963, the place was renamed as gonghangdong to reflect that it has an airport(gonghang means airport in korean).
