In this study, the composition items and the place names of a village of eight types of Gwanchan-Eupji, Yeongi-hyeon, published in the 19th century, were compared and analyzed. The main results are as follows: First, there are 11 types of Yeongi-hyeon Eupji, including four types included on a national scale, five types included on a provincial or regional scale, and two types of Yeongi-hyeon scale (Yeonseongji and Yeongi-eupji). Eight types were published in the 19th century. Second, the administrative district of Yeongi-hyeon continued to be a seven-myeon system(Dongil, Dongi, Nam, Buksam, Bukil, Buki, Eupnae-myeon) from the 18th century to the end of the 19th century. It was a place name bearing the meaning east, west, south, and north. “The 1872 Yeongi-hyeon Map” marks an important change in which Buksam-myeon was renamed to Seo-myeon. Finally, the recently collected “Yeonseongji” was published in 1824, which was described based on Imojangjeok in 1822. It was confirmed that all five remaining Eupji, published in the 19th century, were transcribed from “Yeonseongji” to the original version. Only the “Chungnam Yeongi-gunji”, which is included in the “(Chungcheongnam-do) Eupji”, indicates regional information during the Seo-myeon period. Through the above research, it was possible to confirm the conservatism and spatial persistence of the place names of Yeongi-hyeon. It was also proved that the situation at that time was not properly reflected because there were many cases in which Yeongi-hyeon Eupji, in the 19th century copied the old Eupji, as they were.
