History
On November 5, 2003, the government issued Decree 103/2003/ND-CP. It states that, Tân Phú district will be established by separating a part of Tân Bình district; and Phú Thạnh was established on the basis of 114 hectares of natural area and 28,847 people of Ward 18, Tân Bình district.[5]
On June 16, 2025, the National Assembly Standing Committee issued Resolution No. 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15 on the arrangement of commune-level administrative units of Ho Chi Minh City in 2025 (effective from June 16, 2025). Accordingly, the entire land area and population of Hiệp Tân, Phú Thạnh wards and part of Tân Thới Hòa ward of the former Tân Phú district will be integrated into a new ward named Phú Thạnh (Clause 66, Article 1).[6]
