Founder and Origin of the Clan Seat

The Samcheok Park clan (三陟 朴氏) honors Silla's founding king Park Hyeokgeose as its distant progenitor and takes Bak Won-gyeong (朴元慶) as its founding ancestor; he is said to have served Goryeo as a left vice-minister (sangseo jwa bokya) and been enfeoffed as Prince Samcheok. He is described as a descendant of King Gyeongmyeong of Silla, and family tradition places the line under Bak Eon-sin, the third of the eight princes, also claimed as ancestor by the Hamyang Park. The ancestry before Bak Won-gyeong and exact generation counts are not confirmed in public sources.

Place Within the Park Family

By family tradition the clan belongs to the lineage of Bak Eon-sin, Prince Sokham, together with Hamyang and Gunwi Park. This is a genealogical tradition rather than documented history, and some Park clans, such as Bannam, do not accept the eight-prince account.

Population

The 2015 census counted about 5,776 members. The life dates (1353-1426) and Gaeseong magistrate career given for the later ancestor Bak Won-gyeong come from clan tradition and could not be cross-checked; settlements, branches, generation names and a clan association are not confirmed in public sources.

Notable People
