The district spans 24.58 square kilometers with a population of 465,807 residents, featuring nine administrative divisions including Amsa-dong and Cheonho-dong.

Established in 1979 through separation from Gangnam District, this area transformed from agricultural land into an urban space through infrastructure development.
