Gamdong Village was founded around 1690, when three Gyeongju Kim families settled there. It was first called Sidong, then Gamdong from 1764, and was also known as Gotgamgoji. On a rock at the summit of Mount Jijang is a horse hoofprint, said to be where a celestial horse waits for a hero to be born in the village. Gamdong is the first village along the Geum River, which begins here as water is released from Lake Yongdam. The river flowing past the village offers swimming and rafting.
