Proud of the heroic land
According to some documents, the name of Hong Ngu land was recorded in history books more than 200 years ago. Through many historical periods, in 1976, Hong Ngu became a district of Dong Thap province. Due to development needs, in 1989, Hong Ngu district was divided into Hong Ngu district and Tan Hong district. In 2009, Hong Ngu district continued to be divided into Hong Ngu town and Hong Ngu district; in November 2020, Hong Ngu city was officially established. Thus, the old Hong Ngu land includes Hong Ngu city, Hong Ngu district and Tan Hong district today.
During the resistance war against the French colonialists and the American imperialists, Hong Ngu land was the source area, with an important military strategic position, with more than 50km of border, a belt area with many revolutionary bases at all levels, from the region to the province, district and communes to lead the resistance and organize the fight against the enemy, and was the gateway to receive and transfer forces and weapons to the southwestern provinces. With its location leaning on the forest, leaning against the border, Hong Ngu was chosen to be the base of the Zone 2 Party Committee (South Central Region), Chau Doc Provincial Party Committee base, Long Chau Tien, which was the place to receive and provide logistics for the entire Southern battlefield. With that geographical location, the people of Hong Ngu were soon enlightened and followed the revolution, joining hands and hearts to promote patriotism, resolutely and bravely fighting to repel the invaders, contributing to protecting the territorial integrity of the homeland and country, maintaining peace and independence of the Fatherland; at the same time fulfill international obligations to our friendly country Cambodia.
