The Ulsan Gaeunpo Gyeongsang Jwasuyeong Fortress, located at a strategically vital point on the east coast, began as a naval commander's garrison in the early Joseon period, was reorganized into the Gyeongsang Jwasuyeong in 1459 (the 5th year of King Sejo's reign—which administered 11 naval garrisons in the Gyeongsang Left Province), and served as the naval headquarters of Gyeongsang Left Province until 1544 (the 39th year of King Jungjong's reign). The site is a historic location representing a key national defense facility of early Joseon and possesses historical and military value in understanding the organization and operational methods of the Joseon navy.
