Yonggang Confucian Academy was founded in 1603 (the 36th year of King Seonjo) to honor Yu Eui-son and others. Originally called Hwanggang Academy, it was demolished in 1741, rebuilt in 1795 as Yonggang Academy, and abolished again in 1868 during the Heungseon Daewongun era. It was restored by local Confucian scholars in 1900.
