The first culture to be originated in Haenam County was the Neolithic one. Relics of the Bronze age, such as dolmens and shell mounds, were discovered here. Our county was named Haenam-hyeon in the Goryeo dynasty. After 1985(32nd year of King Gojong in Joseon dynasty) it was called as Haenam-gun, and became the biggest county in Jeonnam province. Geographically, it is located at the end of the Sobaek mts, its mild oceanic climate is counducive to agriculture and fishing. |
