The park was established on August 15, 1992, in connection with the Yeongeukmun stone foundation.

Seodaemun Independence Park is located on the site of the former Seoul Detention Center, where numerous patriots were imprisoned until Korea's liberation on August 15, 1945, and where many political prisoners were held during the political upheavals of the 1960s. Following the Seoul Detention Center's relocation to Uiwang, Gyeonggi Province in November 1987, seven prison buildings, an execution ground, and an underground women's prison were restored, and the March First Independence Movement Memorial Tower was relocated from Tapgol Park. Connected to the Yeongeukmun stone foundation, the park was established on August 15, 1992. Seodaemun Independence Park was created to preserve the memory of the spirit of independence and self-determination of patriots who suffered imprisonment in their struggle for national independence for future generations. The Independence Gate, History Hall, Independence Hall, and Monument to Fallen Patriots are organically connected, while aging park facilities that had caused inconvenience to the public were improved to maximize accessibility and convenience for students, tourists, and citizens visiting the park. In particular, the Independence Gate, which had previously restricted public access, was opened to citizens through the park's reconstruction project.
