Neungheodae is located at the end of the coast facing Ongnyeon-dong, Yeonsu-gu (194 bungi). Neungheodae was the departure point when sending envoys to China during the Hanseong Baekje Period whose capital was the entire area of Gangdong-gu, Seoul today. It had served that function for about 100 years from the 27th year of King Geunchogo’s reign (372) when Baekje started trade with China up to the 23rd year of King Gaero’s reign (475) who transferred the capital to Ungjin.

Such history of Neungheodae has become the basis for explaining that the role of current Incheon as the outport of capital Seoul as well as the gate to foreign countries being equipped with port and airport has continued since the Baekje Period in the Three Kingdoms Era. As a consequence, a small pavilion was built on the land of Neungheodae in 1987 and a park was formed by constructing a pond. In 1990, it was appointed and preserved by Incheon Metropolitan City as the 8th Monument.
