Seongeup Folk Village is located on the east side of the island, where the administrative office of Jeongui stood. Originally established in Goseong-ri, Seonggan-eup in the 10th year of King Taejong (1410) during the Yi Government (ie Joseon Dynasty) Jeongui was moved to the Seongeup Folk Village site in the 5th year of King Sejong (1423). The Jeongui administrative office was constructed on the recommendation of Oh Sik, the official in charge of 'consoling people'.

Samseong Hyeol (삼성혈;三姓穴) literally means The Hole of Three Names and is translated into English as Caves of the Three Clans. According to legend, the forefathers of the Ko (고;高), Yang (양;良), and Bu (부;夫) clans emerged from three holes in the ground to become the original inhabitants of Jeju Island. They supposedly lived by hunting until they learned agriculture from the three princesses of the Byeongnang Kingdom in mainland Korea, who were brought to them for marriage. It is said that they founded the Tamna Kingdom.
