History
The city was initially part of Champa, until it was conquered by the Qin Empire who were in control of most of Vietnam at the time.[3] In the 2nd century CE, the Cham people rebelled against Chinese rule. During the 14th and 15th century, ethnic Vietnamese gradually admixed with the Cham inhabitants.
During the Vietnam War, Đông Hà was the northernmost town in South Vietnam and was the location of a strategically important United States Marine Corps Đông Hà Combat Base, to support Marine positions along the Vietnamese Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).[4] During the so-called Easter Offensive in 1972, the town was the scene of a ferocious battle between the South Vietnamese army and invading North Vietnamese armored forces. The North Vietnamese army captured the town on 28 April 1972, and it was never regained by the South Vietnamese.
The contemporary Vietnamese singer Như Quỳnh was born in Đông Hà in 1970.
