It is well known as the place where King Danjong, the sixth king of Joseon Dynasty, was exiled when he was forced to abdicate by his uncle, who became Sejo of Joseon. It is also where Danjong was buried after he was murdered in 1457, following the attempts by six martyred ministers to restore him to power, after he was perceived to be a continuing threat to the rule of his uncle. It is also where the Joseon Dynasty poet Kim Sat-gat is buried.[1]
The Joseon Supergroup, formed from Cambrian to Ordovician, is distributed in Yeongwol County widely. It consist of the 'Taebaek Group' and 'Yeongwol Group'.
