History
Gojong of Korea wished to establish European-like orders. He had considered establishing orders beginning in the summer of 1899.[2] He finally decided to establish the Order in April 17, 1900. Grand Cordon of the Order of the Golden Ruler was selected to become the highest order. The first recipients were Gojong of Korea, Sunjong of Korea, and Yi Un. Gojong personally said that golden ruler illustrates the Taejo of Joseon having a dream of it before he established Joseon. He also included that by honoring people who worked for Korea in this way, Taejo of Joseon will be happy too.[2][clarification needed]
The first foreigner to receive the order was Prince Henry of Prussia on March 20, 1904. He received it for his visit to the Korean Empire. Over ten years, 27 people were named to the Order.
