Trieu Phong is a land with a long history of formation in the southward expansion process of generations of Vietnamese people. The name Trieu Phong first appeared as an administrative unit at the prefecture level within Thuan Hoa province, recorded in the 10th year of Quang Thuan (1469), after King Le Thanh Tong redefined the map of the entire country. The name Trieu Phong means a prosperous and auspicious beginning. Throughout the ups and downs of history, this land has had many different names and its boundaries have changed several times, from Vo/Vu Xuong, Dang Xuong, Thuan Xuong, and today it is known as Trieu Phong.
During the Nguyen dynasty (1558-1626), Ai Tu - Tra Bat - Dinh Cat was chosen by Lord Tien Nguyen Hoang and Lord Sai Nguyen Phuc Nguyen as the location for the administrative center and capital to govern the entire Thuan Hoa and Quang Nam regions.
In Trieu Phong, the first communist organizations of Quang Tri province were established early on, and the provisional Quang Tri Provincial Party Committee was founded on April 21, 1930. It was also the birthplace of many patriotic intellectuals and revolutionary leaders such as General Secretary Le Duan, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Huu Duc, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Quynh, and General Doan Khue...
After the liberation of their homeland, the Party Committee and people of Trieu Phong continued to strive, turning challenges into opportunities, making good use of potentials and advantages, mobilizing and effectively utilizing resources, creating breakthroughs in the district's renewal and development.
Leveraging internal strengths and taking advantage of external resources to build new rural areas.
In implementing the New Rural Development program, Trieu Phong district faced numerous difficulties and challenges, including a low starting point, a high proportion of agriculture in the economic structure, slow development of industry, trade, and services, a poverty rate of 23.1%, an average per capita income of only 10 million VND/person/year, and an average of only 4.6 New Rural Development criteria met across all communes, with the district yet to achieve any criteria that meet the standards...

With the involvement of the entire political system, the spirit of solidarity, the unity and cooperation, and the active participation of all strata of the people, Trieu Phong district has achieved many outstanding achievements in various fields of social life, especially in the construction of new rural areas.
The district has completed its regional planning until 2040, with a vision to 2050. The district's economy maintains a stable growth rate, averaging over 10% per year. The appearance of rural and urban areas is increasingly improving, and the lives of the people are constantly improving significantly. Average per capita income in 2023 reached 68.5 million VND, a 6.8-fold increase compared to 2011, and the poverty rate decreased to 3.3%, a 6.9-fold reduction. Tangible and intangible cultural values are being preserved, restored, exploited, and promoted.
A prominent feature and practical experience of the district in building new rural areas is the leveraging of internal resources, taking advantage of external resources, and promoting the movement of donating land, trees, labor, ideas, and contributing funds to the construction of new rural areas.
Over the past 10 years, the entire district has mobilized the people to voluntarily contribute to the installation of street lighting systems with a total length of 325 km, donating more than 100,000 m² of land, hundreds of thousands of man-days of labor, and raising over 1,600 billion VND, of which the people contributed 129 billion VND to build welfare facilities, cultural institutions, transportation infrastructure, flower-lined roads, green fences, and model residential areas... As a result, all 17/17 communes in the district have been recognized by the Provincial People's Committee as meeting the standards of New Rural Areas, including 3 communes that have achieved advanced New Rural Area standards, completing 100% of the criteria for a New Rural Area district.
An important prerequisite for moving towards model new rural areas and smart new rural areas.
Speaking at the ceremony, Provincial Party Secretary Le Quang Tung congratulated and praised the achievements of the Party Committee, government, and people of Trieu Phong district. The Provincial Party Secretary emphasized that Trieu Phong's achievement of the New Rural Area standard today is only the beginning, an important foundation for continuing to build a higher level of New Rural Area, aiming towards a model New Rural Area and a smart New Rural Area...
To achieve this, it is suggested that the Party Committee, government, military, and people of Trieu Phong district continue to highly promote the revolutionary traditions and achievements made in the past.
Focus on implementing several key tasks such as: deploying the approved Quang Tri provincial planning and Trieu Phong district regional planning for the period 2021-2030 with a vision to 2050, leveraging the local advantages and potential, and forming a rational economic development space and structure in both breadth and depth. Directing the review, supplementation, and adjustment of rural development planning in conjunction with the implementation of economic restructuring policies, ensuring consistency with the overall plan.
Continue to focus on leadership and guidance to accelerate the implementation of national target programs and other programs and projects to maintain and improve the quality of criteria, especially focusing on production and environmental criteria, ensuring sustainability in building new rural areas.

Effectively implement social policies, address employment issues, achieve sustainable poverty reduction, and improve people's living standards.
