Ngan Dừa is a township (Thị trấn) and town and capital of Hồng Dân District, Bạc Liêu Province, in south-western Vietnam.[1]

History of Ngan Dừa[edit]

The town was founded before 1940, then burned down in the battle for independence from the French colonial forces. People left until 1955 when a new village was built. Ngan Dừa was the heart of the community and became the center of distribution and business for the others villages.

After re-establishing Ngan Dừa, schools were built and opened for students from elementary to middle school.[2] High school students were admitted in September 1964.

Ngan Dừa has been part of Hồng Dân District since 25 September 2000.
