Goseong (고성, 固城) is in South Gyeongsang province in South Korea.

Goseong-gun can be traced back to the history of dinosaurs. The history of dinosaurs in Goseong Dinosaur Museum, Korea's first museum specializing in dinosaurs, as well as dinosaur footprints remaining on coastal rocks near Sangjokam Rock, are indispensable. Hakdong Village, which has a nice old stone wall, is good for walking lightly.

History
Goseong-gun (Gun means 'county' in English.) was the capital of Sogaya (Sogaya is a collective name for several countries in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula in the early and mid-Three Kingdoms Period.) for 42 to 461 years. Then, in 554, it was merged into Shilla. It was renamed Shilla Goja-gun in 737 and changed to Goseong as part of the policy of Chineseizing Silla and place names in 757. During the Goryeo Dynasty in 995, it was called Cheolseong for a while and soon returned to the name Goseong. On August 16, 1869, when a dispute over family register relations broke out during the Joseon Dynasty, the town hall was moved from Goseong to the control compound in Chunwon-myeon in 1870, and after the situation was settled, it was moved back to Goseong-hyeon in 1872 in the 9th year of King Gojong's reign. In 1895, it became Goseong-gun, Jinju-bu, and in 1896, it became Goseong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do. In the 1910s, the current Goseong-eup was briefly named Cheolseong-myeon. So there are Cheolseong Elementary School, Cheolseong Middle School, and Cheolseong High School in Goseong-eup. During the March 1 Independence Movement in 1919, the Baedun Market Demonstration was held from March 22 to April 3.

On October 1, 1938, Goseong-myeon was promoted to Goseong-eup.

Climate
It represents a warm and rainy oceanic climate on the southern coast, with an average temperature of 2.0℃ in January, 26.5℃ in August, and an annual average temperature of 14.5℃, with a small annual difference. The average annual precipitation is 1,334mm, which is generally large. Therefore, orchid plants such as camellia trees and Sancho trees are growing in the coastal area.

A famous point

However, since the discovery of dinosaur footprints due to an academic survey in 1982, the name Goseong has become known as it has attracted domestic and international attention.
