Trang 4BRIEF HISTORY OF PHU THQ
For thousands ol years, since Hung Kings formed Vin Lang Kingdom, the name and the
borderline ol the territory of Ph0 Thq have undergone changes .
Under Hing Kings epoch, Phri Thq used to be in Vdn Lang b0 (city), centre of VIn Lang
kingdom Under An DLtong Vuong King and Au Lqc kingdom, Phi Thq was in Md Linh district
Under the Chinese empire (f rom the year ol 111 B.C to the 1Oth century), Phti Tho was
in MO Linh district, TAn Xuong, Pfiong ChAu
Under the independent feudal period, administrative units changed Distrlcts under
Chinese empire were replaced by d4o (16, trdn, xu, tinh), d4o were divided into phi (prelect),
chAu (cities), huyQn (districts) Phri Tho was in Tam Giang lo Under the early of Nguy6n
dynasty, Phu Thq was in both Hung H6a and Son TAy provinces
ln the 12th year of the Minh Mang reign (1831), the King implemented administrative
reforms, changed trAn into provinces, changed the management of Some districts lrom this
province to another one, divided some large districts into smaller units, etc For HUng Hoa and
Son Tdy provinces, Tam Nong district was handed over to Hung H6a instead of being ruled
by Son TAy as before ln 1883 Thanh Xuy6n district Gia HLtng phi in Hung Hoa province was
divided into Thanh Son and Thanh Thtiy districts
After occupying the Nonh of Vietnam, compteting the invasion of Vietnam, the French
colonialists carried out policy of "divide to rule" They established new small provinces so as
to more easily Suppress Vietnamese patriotic movements They also lormed military zones,
sub- military zone and military quarter Some districts of Son TAy and HUng Hoa were in Y6n
BAi sub-military zone
As lor Hung Hoa province, after cutting 16 chAu (cities), 4 phi (prefects) and TrAn Y6n,
VAn Chdn districts to form new provinces of LAo Cai, Y6n B6i, Son La, Lai Chau, the colonialist
administrators select some districts ol SOn TAy province and merged them with the rest of old
Hung H6a province to form new Hung Hoa province
Hung H6a established by Article No 1 ol Degree issued by the Governor'
General of lndochina on the 8th September 1891 (precursor ol Ph0 Thg province
nowa-days) comprised:' '
1 Tam N6ng, Thanh Thriy districts Thanh Thu!' district cut Cq Thing tdng (can'
ton) and supplemented Tinh NhuQ tdng (canton) from Thanh Son district
2 Son Vi, Thanh Ba and Phi Ninh from Lim Thao phi (prefect) of Son TAy
province
Thus, new Hung H6a province comprised 5 districts
On the 9th December 1892, Governor' General of lndochina made a decision of merg'
ing Cdm KhO district lrom Y6n B6i sub- military zone into Hung Hoa province
on the 5th June 1893 Ha Hoa district was separated from Y6n Bai sub-military zone to
join Hung H6a province
'
Then, on the 17lh July 1895, Thanh Son and YOn Lrip chAu (cities) from D6n Vdng
mil-itary zone joined HLrng Hoa province On 24th August 1895 Hung Quan and Ngoc Quan
dis-tricts lrom Doan Hing phri (prefect) were separated lrom Tuyan Quang sub- military zone of
Y6nB6i militaryquarterNo.3tojoinHungH6aprovince ln1900HacTri districtwasformed
On the 5th May 1903, Governor - General of lndochina signed a decision of changing
township of Hung H6a province (from Truc Ph6 village ol Tam N6ng district to Phtt Thq village
of Y6n Phu tdng (canton), son Vi district) and slnce then Hung Hoa was renamed as Phri Thg
province with 10 districts of Tam Ndng, Thanh Thuir, Son Vi, Thanh Ba, Phi Ninh, Cdm Kh6'
Ha Hda, Hac Tri, Hirng Quan, Ngoc Quan and Thanh Son, YOn L4Lp chau (cities)
Between 1 903 (the year of being renamed as Ph0 Thg) and the 1 945 August Revolution,
the administrative units did not undergo any change except the change of names
On22nd October 1907 Phu Thg and Vi6t Tri towns were established
ln 1919 Son Vi district was renamed as LAm Thao phri (pref ect) At the same year Hing
Quan and Nggc Quan were merged to become Doan Hing phi (prefect)
ln 1 939 Doan Hung ph0 (prefect) was renamed as Doan Hing chAu (city) At the same
year Thanh Ba district became Thanh Ba phri (prefect)
Up to 1940, Phri Thq province comprised 2 ph0 (prefects) of LAm Thao and Thanh Ba,
6 districts of Tam NOng, Thanh Thu!, Phi Ninh, Cdm Kh6, H4 Hda, Hac Tri, 3 chAu (cities)
of Thanh Son, Ydn t-ap, Ooan Hung, 2 towns ol Phri Thg, Viat Tri and one town (thi lrdn) oi
HLrng H6a There were 66 tdng (cantons), 467 villages and 22 streets
After the August Revolution was successful, administratively phi (prefect), chau (city), districts were called district (huyQn) Tdng (canton) was eliminated Small villages were unilied
to be called commune ln 1 946 in Phu Thg province, 467 old villages were unilied into 106 new communes However, due to the lact that some communes were too large, in the mid of 1947 the government divided some of them into smaller communes, raising the number of vlllages
f rom 106 to 1 50
At the same yeat ol 1947,5 districts on the right bank ol Thao River of Cdm Kh6, Tam Ndng, Thanh Thriy, Thanh Son and Yen Lqp joined zone No 14, which formerly didn't belong
to Phri Thq province Up to December'1948, zones No 14 and No 10 merged to become inter-region No 5, so the 5 districts on the right bank ol Thao River then belonged to Phu ThQ province
During the period of land and economic reforms (1955-1957) there was a change in administrative units Some communes were divided, raising the number of communes from
150 to 271 Since 1957 the administrative units at commune level have stayed unchanged, except for a change in the names of some communes in the late of 1964
During the period ol implementing the first five-year plan (1961-1965), Ministry ol the lnterior made the decision of establishing 3 new towns as Van Hing farm town belonging to Doan Hr)ng district, V6n Linh larm town belonging to Thanh Ba district and Phu Son farm town
belongingioThanhSondistrict.On4Junelg62,theGovernmental Council issuedDecision
No 65 to establish Vi6t Tri city
on 26 January 1968, the National Assembly Standing committee issued Decision No.504 to unify Phri Thg and Wnh Ph0c to be called Vinh Phri province Vi6t Tri city became the capital of Wnh Phti
On 5 July 1977, the Government Council issued Decision No 178 to unify all the district
in the province ln Phrl Tho, Thanh son districts remained as it had been, the rest were merged Tam Nong and Thanh Thuy were merged to become Tam Thanh district, LAm Thao anO pni Ninh to become Phong ChAu district, Cdm Kh6, Y6n LAp and 10 communes ol Ha Hoa on the right bank of Thao River to become song Thao district, Thanh Ba, Doan Hung and the rest communes of Ha Hoa and 7 communes ol Phu Ninh to become S6ng LO district Thus the problem arises that the district tenitory was too large to administer and manage, on 22 February 1980 the Government Council issued Decision No 377 to change According to this Decision, SOng Thao was divided into s6ng Thao and Y6n L4p, Song L6 was divided into Thanh HoA and Doan Hung
ln 1979 the Government council issued a decislon to establish Phong chau town belonging to Phong chAu district ln october'1995 Thanh Ba and Ha Hoa districts were re-lormed A month later (November 1995), the Government decided to recognise Thanh Ba and Doan Hung towns as capitals of the above two districts
