Gwanak District, Administrative district in southern Seoul, South Korea
The district spans 29.57 square kilometers and contains 21 neighborhoods with established residential, academic, and commercial zones serving 486,160 residents.
Gwanak District transformed from rural Siheung territory to Seoul jurisdiction in 1973, following the expansion of the National Capital Area in the 1960s.
Seoul National University campus shapes the district character with student life concentrated around Nokdu Street, offering academic resources and social gathering spaces.
The district connects to central Seoul through Line 2 and Line 4 of Seoul Metro, while the Nambu Beltway provides direct road access to multiple expressways.
Mount Gwanak forms the southern border with its ridgeline, creating natural boundaries between urban Seoul and the neighboring Gyeonggi Province.
