Noktundo(Korean:록둔도/녹둔도) was an island in the delta of theTumen Riveron the border betweenPrimorsky Krai,RussiaandNorth Korea.[1]The area of the island was 32 square kilometres (12 sq mi).[2][3]
Noktundo had beenKoreanterritory since the 15th century.[3]The Jurchens took notice of this. In 1587 there was a battle fought on this island between the localKoreansand the invadingJurchensfrom nearby Russia. At first, the Jurchens successfully sacked the island and captured 160 Koreans as prisoners. As they crossed the river back to their camp with the prisoners, the famed Korean generalYi Sun-Shin,chased after the invaders and rescued 50 Koreans and defended the island. With his army, he later infiltrated the nearby Jurchen army camp, and captured their leader alive.[4]
Due to changes in the canal and sand sediment, the island was eventually adjoined to the north shore, which was part of theQing dynasty.[3]
The island was underKoreancontrol until 1860 when Russia forced the Qing dynasty to cedeOuter Manchuriaalong with Noktundo in theConvention of Pekingwithout any Korean participation.[3][5][6]When theJoseongovernment found this out in the 1880s, this became a matter of protest to the Koreans, who claimed that the Russians had no authority to do so, and protested it to the Qing dynasty.[7]In 1990,Soviet Unionand North Korea signed a border treaty which made the border run through the center of the river leaving the territory of the former island on the Russian side. South Korea refused to acknowledge the treaty and demanded that Russia return the territory to Korea.[8][9][10]
Koreans continued to live on Noktundo until the 1930s.[3]
