The first historical ancestor of the Cheju Yang clan was a Shilla figure named Yang T’ang but according to legend his distant ancestor was one of three men who ascended from a cave on the north side of Cheju Island's Halla Mountain. These three men were the founders of the Yang Pu and Ko clans. The legendary founder of the Yang clan was named Yang Ŭl-la. Some days after their emergence a box washed up on the shore of the island. In the box were three women horses cows and agricultural seed. From these beginnings the three established Cheju's T’amnaguk kingdom and ruled peacefully for 900 years. Later descendants of the three men settled throughout Korea although 40 percent of the Yang clan still live on Cheju island and in Chŏlla province.
