Thanh Xuân [tʰajŋ˧˧:swən˧˧] is a ward of Hanoi the capital city in the Red River Delta of Vietnam.[3]

History

[edit]

Its name Thanh Xuân (Hán Nôm: 青春) was decided by the Hanoi City People's Committee to preserve the cultural, historical, religious and especially political significance of the old administrative unit.[1]

Middle Ages

[edit]

When the French had just occupied the Citadel of Hanoi (1883), the are of modern Thanh Xuân Ward belonged to the two largest villages Cự Chính and Quan Nhân. On July 19, 1888, the Tonkin Provisional Government adjusted the boundaries to establish three new villages Cự Lộc, Chính Kinh and Quan Nhân, which belonged to Hoàn Long Rural District, Hà Đông Province.

20th century

[edit]

In 1946, the provisional central government of Vietnam decided to divide the urban Hanoi into zones[note 3]. The territory of the three old villages was unified into Thanh Xuân Litte Zone (tiểu khu Thanh Xuân), directly under Đống Đa Zone (khu Đống Đa). Its name was derived from one of the colloquial names of Bồ Đề Pagoda,[note 4] the largest traditional architectural work in the area. The temple was originally built on a site called as Gò Đống Thây (meaning "the mound for corpses" in Vietnamese), which is said to have been a burial place for those who died of famine around the 19th century.[4]

Until 1982, Thanh Xuân Litte Zone was renamed Thanh Xuân Bắc Ward (phường Thanh Xuân Bắc), still belonging to Đống Đa Urban District.

On December 28, 1996, Thanh Xuân Urban District (quận Thanh Xuân) was established on the basis of separating the part across Tô Lịch River of Đống Đa District and merging some more vacant land plots in the north of Hà Đông Town.

21st century

[edit]

On June 16, 2025, in response to Resolution 1656/NQ-UBTVQH15 of the Standing Committee of the National Assembly of Vietnam on the arrangement and merger of administrative units, Thanh Xuân District was officially dissolved.[5] On the basis of the former district, three new wards Khương Đình, Thanh Liệt, and Thanh Xuân were established.[6]

Accordingly, Thanh Xuân Ward[7][8] (phường Thanh Xuân) was formed based on the structure of administration, area and population from :

New Thanh Xuân Ward inherits most of the advantages of the former district through the area of former Thanh Xuân Trung Ward, where many administrative, educational, and economic agencies of the Nam Thăng Long area were concentrated.[1]
