Etymology

In the past, some researchers have claimed that the name Script error: No such module "Lang". originates from Khmer language. However, other authors claim that the name Script error: No such module "Lang". is a compound of Vietnamese language roots, combining Script error: No such module "Lang"., to "keep" or "guard", Script error: No such module "Lang". referring to oil-producing trees of the genus Dipterocarpus, and the number Script error: No such module "Lang". or "one". The toponym Script error: No such module "Lang". existed prior, in reference to large number of Dipterocarpus trees lining the port where there was a market in this area. In the 1940s, many of these were cut down; thus, the place name Script error: No such module "Lang". can be understood as "the only large oil tree growing, located next to the fort". Other toponyms in the area do follow similar tree + numeral structures, such as Script error: No such module "Lang". (literally "Mango" + "Four") and Script error: No such module "Lang". ("Mangifera reba" + "Three").[3]

According to a third oral tradition, in a fort (Script error: No such module "Lang".) in Bình An, there was a large oil tree on the hill. Thus the original name would have been Script error: No such module "Lang"., which literally means "Oil-Tree Fort Region"; later, Script error: No such module "Lang". underwent a sound change to Script error: No such module "Lang"..[3]

History

In 1976, the National Assembly of Vietnam decided to merge Bình Dương Province and Bình Phước Province (which comprised the former provinces of Bình Long and Phước Long) into a new province called Sông Bé.[4] Thủ Dầu Một Town became the provincial capital of Sông Bé.[4]

In 2007, the Ministry of Construction recognized Thủ Dầu Một as a Grade-III urban area.[5][6]

On May 2, 2012, the government issued Resolution No. 11/NQ-CP on the establishment of Thủ Dầu Một City.[7][8][9]

On July 8, 2014, Thủ Dầu Một was recognized as a Grade-II urban area,[10][11][12] and on December 6, 2017, it officially became a Grade-I city under Bình Dương Province.[13]

On June 12, 2025, Bình Dương province was merged to Ho Chi Minh City, along with Bà Rịa–Vũng Tàu province. Therefore, the city ceased its existence as a munipical city.

Economy

Thủ Dầu Một has seen a rapid expansion and economic development since 1997, as the province has become an important industrial hub of the region. In January 2007, the district-level town then was officially recognized as a third-class town.[14] It became a city in July 2012.[15] There is a 4,200-ha urban-tech park under development. Thủ Dầu Một will be a modern city within the Hồ Chí Minh City Metropolitan Area (including Thủ Dầu Một, Nhơn Trạch, Tân An, Biên Hòa and parts of Đồng Nai and Bình Dương provinces).

It became a first-class city on 6 December 2017.[16]
