Dalseong County

Dalseong County is an administrative area forming the southern and western sections of Daegu and covers approximately 427 square kilometers along the Nakdong River. The territory is organized into several towns and townships that serve as local governance units.

The county originated in 757 as Daegu-hyeon, a dependent territory of Suchang-gun, and later merged into Daegu Metropolitan City in 1995. This consolidation marked the beginning of its modern role as part of the larger urban area.

The name Dalseong comes from Dalgubeol, an ancient term for Daegu, and farming remains central to how people live here. Vegetable growing shapes both the landscape and daily life for many residents.

The county administration is based in Nongong-eup and is surrounded by several towns and townships that function as local units. It is helpful to know the area is well-connected to Daegu and offers a mix of rural and developed sections.

The Nakdong River flowing through the region has shaped life and livelihood here for centuries. Today the river landscape remains an integral part of daily experience for those who live and work in the area.
