==History== During the Gabo reform during the 31st year of reign of King Gojong, the administrative district was reorganized from Yangcheon-hyeon (縣) to Gun (郡), and when Sinwol was incorporated into Gimpo-gun in 1914, the administrative district changed to Sindang-ri, Yangdong-myeon, Gimpo-gun. The name Sindang-ri derives from the name of the village of "Sinwol and Danggok." The Sindangri region was a scanty mountainous village which had villages such as "Danggok, Koeumwol, Shindae, Shinwol, Gatri". "Danggok" was called Danggol because there was a city shrine (都堂) where they had shrine rituals. "Koeunwol" had a meaning of a town where the moon shines bright which originated from the korean word for beautiful moon. "Shindae" means Newly founded village.
