The kingdom of Tamna or Tamnaguk ruled Jeju Island from ancient times until it was absorbed by the Korean Joseon Dynasty in 1404. This kingdom is also sometimes known as Tangna (탁라), Seomna (섭나), and Tammola (탐모라). All of these names mean "island country."

There is no historical record of the founding or early history of Tamna. One legend tells that the three divine founders of the country -- Go (고), Yang (양), and Bu (부) -- emerged from three holes in the ground in the 24th century BC. These holes, known as the Samseonghyeol (삼성혈), are still preserved in Jeju City.

The first historical reference to the kingdom may come in the third century AD, in the chronicle of the Chinese Three Kingdoms period called the Sanguozhi.

At some point near the end of the Three Kingdoms period, Tamna officially subjugated itself to Silla.

Tamna briefly reclaimed its independence after the fall of Silla in 935. However, it was subjugated by the Goryeo Dynasty in 938, and officially annexed in 1105. However, the kingdom maintained local autonomy until 1404, when King Taejong of Joseon placed it under firm central control and brought the Tamna kingdom to an end. One interesting event that took place during these later years of Tamna was the Sambyeolcho Rebellion, which came to a bloody end on Jeju Island in 1274.
