🇰🇷 Dobong District (도봉구) is one of the 25 districts of Seoul, South Korea. Dobong has a geographic area of 20.8 km² (8 sq mi), and is divided into four dong) (neighbourhoods). The district is located in north-eastern Seoul, bordering the Gyeonggi Province cities of Yangju and Uijeongbu to the north, and the Seoul city districts of Gangbuk to the south-west and Nowon to the east.
1History Dobong District was created in 1973 by splitting 22 administrative neighborhoods off from Seongbuk District. By 1979, some of these 22 original administrative neighborhoods had been subdivided, increasing the number of administrative neighborhoods in Dobong District to 35. In 1988, the sixteen administrative neighborhoods in Dobong-dong, Chang-dong, Wolgye-dong, Gongneung-dong, Hagye-dong, Junggye-dong, and Sanggye-dong were split off to form Nowon District, though the following year Dobong-dong and Chang-dong were returned to Dobong District. Then in 1995, the 18 administrative neighborhoods in Mia-dong, Suyu-dong, and Beon-dong were split off to form Gangbuk District, leaving Dobong District with its present 14 administrative neighborhoods.
