The name "Gyeongnidan" was derived from the former Republic of Korea Army Financial Management Corps (Yuk-gun-jung-ang-gyeong-ni-dan), which is now the Armed Forces Financial Management Corps.
Early on, it became a residential area for foreigners under the influence of the U.S. troops stationed nearby, and gradually gained popularity by attracting restaurants and bars that suited their preferences. There are now pubs, bars, coffee shops and restaurants lined up.
