Hoàng Mai [hwa̤ːŋ˨˩:maːj˧˧] is award[3] ofHanoi the capital city in theRed River Delta ofVietnam.
The history of the modern area of Hoàng Mai Ward before theMạc Dynasty was almost unknown. However, according to a number of things that have been recorded inĐại Việt sử ký toàn thư,Sơn cư tạp thuật andTang thương ngẫu lục, the interlacedswamp system at the location has been the reason for the population density to be very low, but anyway, it has had a powerful effect to protectĐông Kinh the capital citadel from the South.[note 2] Because of that, although it has really existed for a long time, this residence is not yet on the list of oldvillages that need to be preserved by the Hà Nội City People's Committee.[note 3] This area has almost only noticed because it was home to some smallbattles of theMạc navy with theTrịnh forces and then theTây Sơn forces with theRevival Lê Dynasty.
According to twobooksLê quý dật sử andLê quý kỷ sự, in the last years of theXVIII century, this area was identified asHồng Mai Commune (xã Hồng Mai),Hồng Mai Canton (tổng Hồng Mai),Thanh Trì Rural District,Thường Tín Prefecture, belonging to Sơn Nam Thượng Garrisons, thenHà Nội Province in 1831. However, the court was completely helpless in demographic statistics by the scattered of residential clusters and too complicatedterrain.
According toĐồng Khánh địa dư chí lược (1887), Hồng Mai Canton was changed asHoàng Mai Canton (tổng Hoàng Mai) in 1847 to avoid themiddle name of EmperorNguyễn Dực Tôn.[note 4]
In the process of recombining the administrative system of theNorthern Vietnam about early 1954, the Government of theState of Vietnam expanded the scope of the Hanoi urban area to the Southeast side to access to National Route 1. Most of the area of former Hoàng Mai Commune was merged into the city asDistrict VII (quận VII). That name was kept until 1961 by the new government.
Hoàng Mai was founded as an urban district by Vietnamese government's Decree 132/2003/NĐ-CP on 6 November 2003 from 5 wards ofHai Bà Trưng and 9 communes ofThanh Trì.[4]
The district currently has 14wards, covering a total area of 40.32 square kilometres (15.57 sq mi). As of 2019, there were 506,347 people residing in the district, the highest of all districts in Hanoi. The district bordersThanh Trì District,Thanh Xuân District,Gia Lâm District,Long Biên District,Hai Bà Trưng District. Hoàng Mai District is divided into 14 wards : Đại Kim, Định Công, Giáp Bát, Hoàng Liệt, Hoàng Văn Thụ, Lĩnh Nam, Mai Động, Tân Mai, Thanh Trì, Thịnh Liệt, Trần Phú, Tương Mai, Vĩnh Hưng, Yên Sở.
On April 19, 2025, to realize theproject to arrange and merge administrative units by theGovernment of Vietnam, theHà Nội City People's Committee quickly approved a Resolution on the plan of re-arranging commune+ward-leveladministrative units in the whole city.
According to the political document published for thepress on April 20, Hoàng Mai Urban District was officially dissolved. Its entire area and population have been divided into seven new wardsĐịnh Công,Hoàng Liệt, Hoàng Mai,Lĩnh Nam,Tương Mai,Vĩnh Hưng, andYên Sở.[5] Therefore,Hoàng Mai Ward (phường Hoàng Mai) has been established based on the merging of :
This new administrative unit basically has the meaning of preserving the cultural and historical values of Hồng Mai Commune and Hoàng Mai Urban District.
