Although it is not known exactly when Hahoe was first established, the village has been home to the Pungsan Ryu clan ever since the clan’s founder Ryu Jong-hye settled down here in the beginning of the Joseon Dynasty.
Later, the village developed into an elite clan community as it produced many distinguished figures among his descendants, such as Ryu Jung-yeong (1515-1573; pen name Yibam) and his two sons, Ryu Un-ryong (1539-1601; pen name Gyeomam) and Ryu Seong-ryong (1542-1607; pen name Seoae).
The village is notable because it has preserved many of its original structures.
