History
On April 19, 2025, to meet the Policy to Arrange and Merge Administrative Units by the Government of Vietnam, the Hà Nội People's Committee quickly approved a Resolution on the plan of re-arranging commune+ward-level administrative units in the whole city.
According to the political document published for the press in the same day, Cầu Giấy Urban District was officially dissolved. Its entire area and demography have been divided into three new wards Cầu Giấy 1 (Cầu Giấy), Cầu Giấy 2 (Nghĩa Đô), and Cầu Giấy 3 (Yên Hòa). Therefore, Cầu Giấy Ward (phường Cầu Giấy) has been established based on the merging of :
- The entire ones of two former wards Dịch Vọng and Dịch Vọng Hậu.
- The small parts of five former wards Nghĩa Tân, Quan Hoa, Yên Hòa from Cầu Giấy District, and Mỹ Đình 1, Mỹ Đình 2 from Nam Từ Liêm.
This new administrative unit basically has the meaning of preserving the cultural and historical values of before Giấy Hamlet and Hạ Yên Quyết Canton.[3]

Nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide in the air are also present in significant amount.[6]
