On March 13, 1979, the Government Council issued Decision 104-CP.[5] According to this decision, Hàm Dũng commune was dissolved to establish Mũi Né town as the district capital of Hàm Thuận district.[6]
On December 30, 1982, the Council of Ministers issued Decision 204-HĐBT.[7][8] According to this decision, Hàm Thuận district was divided into two new districts:Hàm Thuận Bắc andHàm Thuận Nam.[9][10] At the same time, Mũi Né town was placed under the administration of Phan Thiết town and was renamed Mũi Né ward.
Mui Ne is famous for seafood. Sand dunes are inhabited by thebutterfly lizard, called nhông cát in Vietnamese. Local people cook lizard in seven ways: grilled, steamed, fried, roasted, raw, served in porridge, iguana pie, and served alongside vegetables. Therefore, the local people call this the seven dishes from iguana.
