Overview
During the Joseon Dynasty, this area lay outside the Hanyang City Wall, and belonged to the Jihagye administrative district of Bansongbang. It was known as Mohwahyeon.
The name Hyeonjeo-dong was officially adopted on 1 April 1914, when the Japanese Government-General of Korea reorganized the administrative districts of Gyeongseong (Seoul).
