History of Ngan Dừa
The town was founded before 1940, then burned down in the battle for independence from the French colonial forces. People left until 1955 when a new village was built. Ngan Dừa was the heart of the community and became the center of distribution and business for the others villages.
After re-establishing Ngan Dừa, schools were built and opened for students from elementary to middle school.[2] High school students were admitted in September 1964.
Ngan Dừa has been part of Hồng Dân District since 25 September 2000.
