Duong Minh Chau district changes every day.
Revolutionary countryside
In May 1951, when the resistance war against French colonialism entered a new phase, the Gia Dinh Ninh Provincial Party Committee took the northeastern region of the province to establish a new base district named after comrade Duong Minh Chau - Chairman of the Tay Ninh Administrative Resistance Committee.
In this area, the Southern Regional Party Committee (later the Central Office for Southern Vietnam), the Southern Command, the Eastern Inter-Zone Command, and the Central Committee of the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam stood to lead the struggle for national liberation. The Duong Minh Chau war zone was also the place where many main force units of the region were established or stopped, such as the 7th Division, the 9th Division, the 311th Regiment, the 16th Regiment, the 304th Regiment...; the war zone was also a fierce land that suffered much pain and loss from the sweeps and bombs of war.
After the historic flood of Nham Thin in October 1952, taking advantage of the time when the army and people of Duong Minh Chau base were struggling to cope with and overcome the consequences of the natural disaster, the French colonialists mobilized 20 infantry battalions to sweep into the base in an attempt to destroy the revolutionary command center in the South, but failed.
15 years later, the revolutionary forces in the Duong Minh Chau base area steadfastly defeated the sweeps of tens of thousands of American troops into the base during the second strategic counter-offensive in the dry season (1966 - 1967), especially defeating the Attelboro operation in 1966. Together with the whole country, the army and people of Duong Minh Chau successfully completed the mission in the General Offensive and Uprising of the Spring of Mau Than 1968, contributing human and material resources and contributing with the whole region to defeat the " Local War" and "Vietnamization of the War" strategies of the American imperialists.
In the spring of 1975, implementing the Tay Ninh Provincial Party Committee's Directive "districts liberate districts, communes liberate communes", the army and people of Duong Minh Chau simultaneously rose up, attacked to liberate their homeland, contributing to the liberation of Tay Ninh, the liberation of the South, the unification of the country, and the successful end of the 21-year resistance war against the US to save the country.
With its contributions in the resistance war and achievements in socio -economic development, Duong Minh Chau district has 5 communes and the District Security Department (now the District Police) was honored by the State as a Heroic Unit of the People's Armed Forces.
Veterans offer incense at Suoi Mon base to commemorate the 49th anniversary of the liberation of the South and national reunification.
Transform yourself and rise up
Immediately after the liberation day, the Party Committee and People of Duong Minh Chau district focused on overcoming the consequences of war, stabilizing the political and social situation and developing the economy, together with the people of the whole province, participating in firmly protecting the southwestern border of the Fatherland and contributing wealth and effort with the people of the whole province to successfully build Dau Tieng - Tay Ninh lake, the largest artificial reservoir in Southeast Asia.
