Dalat was formed in 1893, when Dr. Alexandre Yersin first set foot on the Lam Vien plateau during his expedition on June 21. This discovery later helped him convince Governor-General of Indochina Paul Doumer to choose this place as a highland resort.

Previously, Da Lat and Lam Vien plateau were the residence of the Lach, Chil, Sre ethnic groups of the Co Ho ethnic group. On the old map of Ninh Thuan , this area was recorded as "Lam Son Phan".

When Tan Khai district was newly established, Da Lat belonged to Lam Vien commune, including 17 villages and 268 men.

On March 16, 1881, Dr. Paul Néis and Lieutenant Albert Septans surveyed several Lach villages here, collecting meteorological and anthropometric data.

Governor-General Paul Doumer, after visiting resorts in India, advocated finding a resort for Europeans in Indochina, with the following criteria: over 1,200m high, clean water, arable land and convenient transportation.

Yersin's trip in 1893 determined that Dalat met those criteria, and from then on, Lam Vien plateau - Dalat - was planned as a resort for the French in Indochina.
