According to Tuy An District People's Committee, Phu Luong is one of the administrative units that was formed a long time ago. When it was first established, this place was called Le Thanh Duc Hamlet, belonging to Ha Bac of Dong Xuan District.

In 1832, Le Thanh Duc hamlet was changed to Le Thanh village, Xuan Son commune, Dong Xuan district; by 1899, it belonged to An Son commune, Tuy An prefecture; by 1949, it belonged to An Ninh commune, Tuy An district, now Phu Luong village, An Ninh Dong commune, Tuy An district.

Along with the reclamation and establishment of villages, architectural works serving the community activities and spiritual beliefs of fishermen in coastal villages were gradually built, typically the worship of Whale.

During the reign of King Gia Long (1802-1820), Phu Luong village built a shrine to worship the whale, but at that time it was just a small shrine, roofed with thatch and plastered with lime walls, later covered with scale tiles.

After two wars against France and America, Phu Luong mausoleum was destroyed. In 1998, the mausoleum was restored and the people of Phu Luong rebuilt the mausoleum on the old foundation.

Along with the reclamation, the Tam Toa temple was established to worship the gods: Quan Thanh, Whale... Initially, the temple was built with 3 buildings, so people called it Tam Toa Temple. During the war, this area had no residents so the temple was abandoned. After 1975, Le Thinh fishermen restored Tam Toa temple to worship the gods and the Whale. After many renovations, in 2002, people expanded Tam Toa Temple as it is today...

At the ceremony, Vice Chairman of Tuy An District People's Committee Nguyen Van Hoang presented the provincial-level historical-cultural relic ranking certificate for Phu Luong mausoleum and Tam Toa temple to representatives of the government and people of An Ninh Dong commune; at the same time, he requested the locality to do a good job of managing and protecting the relic and promoting its value in residential areas.
