The name "Huijeong" means "peaceful and harmonious politics." Huijeongdang Hall was the living quarters where kings spent most of their time, but it was converted into a king's office in the late Joseon dynasty. Its initial name was Sungmundang, but it changed to Huijeongdang in 1496. Since Seonjeongjeon Hall was small in space and used as a temporary shrine, Huijeongdang Hall was sometimes used as the king’s office.

In Donggwoldo (Painting of Eastern Palace), which depicts Changdeokgung Palace and Changgyeonggung Palace, Huijeongdang Hall was a simple house on multiple stone pillars and had a pond in the courtyard. However, the entirety of the building was lost in the great fire of 1917 and was later rebuilt by moving Gangnyeongjeon Hall of Gyeongbokgung Palace here in 1920. At the time, it was built in the Western style with a narrow wooden hallway, carpets, glass windows, and chandeliers on the ceiling. Unlike traditional structures, the front of Huijeongdang Hall now has a porch so it can accommodate vehicles.
