Gia Định (嘉定) was a province ofSouth Vietnam surroundingSài Gòn. It was one of the country's main industrial centers.[1]
Gia Định was created in 1832 as part ofSix Provinces of Southern Vietnam and split to four smaller provinces in December 1889: Gia Định,Chợ Lớn,Tân An andTây Ninh.
In 1957 Gia Định contained 6 districts:Gò Vấp,Tân Bình,Hóc Môn,Thủ Đức,Nhà Bè andBình Chánh.
In 1970, the districts ofQuảng Xuyên andCần Giờ were added. In February 1976, Saigon Municipality and parts of the provinces ofBiên Hòa (which is nowCần Giờ district),Bình Dương andHậu Nghĩa (which is nowCủ Chi district) were annexed to Gia Định and it was renamed to Sài Gòn-Gia Định. After the capture of Saigon on 30 April 1975, the province of Gia Định (initially without the estuary) and other areas of neighboring provinces (in particular the district of Củ Chi) were united with the city of Saigon in May. The city of Saigon-Gia Định (thành phố Sài Gòn – Gia Định) was created. This in turn was renamed Ho Chi Minh City (thành phố Hồ Chí Minh) on 2 July 1976. Former governors of the province includeNguyễn Văn Thành.
