There are the tombs of six persons killed in an attempt to restore King Danjong (r.1452~1455) to power after his uncle, Prince Suyang (later King Sejo), usurped the throne in June 1455.
In 1681, King Sukjong (r.1674~1720) ordered a Confucian school to be constructed here as a memorial to the loyalty and valor of the six and King Jeongjo (r.1776~1800) had a stele erected in their memory in 1782.
On May 1955, the Seoul Metropolitan Government built a hexagonal monument to honor them. The tomb area was expanded from 3,240 pyoeng (Korean unit of measurement: 1 pyeong equals approximately 3.3 square meters) to 9,370 pyeong in 1978.
Originally, there were only the tombs of Paengnyeon Park (1417~1456), Sammun Seong (1418~1456), Eungbu Yoo (~1456), and Gai Lee (1417~1456), but after that, the cenotaphs of Wi-ji Ha (1412~1456), Seong-won Ryu (~1456), and Moon-gi Kim (1399~1456) were erected.
