Prior to 1975, the area of the current commune belonged to Đức Tôn district, Sa Đéc province.
On February 24, 1976, the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam issued Decree No. 3/NQ/1976.[3] Accordingly, the entire area and population of Sa Đéc province and Kiến Phong province were merged into a new province called Đồng Tháp province.
At that time, the current geographical area of the commune corresponded to the communes of Tân Bình, Tân Phú Trung, Tân Phú, and Phú Long in Châu Thành district, Đồng Tháp province.
On June 12, 2025, the National Assembly of Vietnam issued Resolution No. 202/2025/QH15[4] on the reorganization of provincial-level administrative units. Accordingly:
- The province of Đồng Tháp was established by merging the entire area and population of Đồng Tháp province and Tiền Giang province.
On June 16, 2025, the National Assembly of Vietnam issued Resolution No. 1663/NQ-UBTVQH15[5] on the reorganization of commune-level administrative units in Đồng Tháp province. Accordingly:
- The commune of Tân Phú Trung was established by merging the entire area and population of the communes of Tân Phú Trung, Tân Phú, Tân Bình, and Phú Long in Châu Thành district, Đồng Tháp province.[6]
