Ph\u01b0\u1eddng An H\u1ed9i is a ward in B\u1ebfn Tre city. It sits right in the city’s heart. The ward is surrounded by Ph\u01b0\u1eddng 8 to the east. To the west are Ph\u01b0\u1eddng 6 and Ph\u01b0\u1eddng 7. The south touches M\u1ef9 Th\u1ea1nh An commune. The B\u1ebfn Tre River marks this boundary.

Before 1975, this area was An H\u1ed9i commune. It served as Tr\u00fac Giang district’s center. It also held the capital of Ki\u1ebfn H\u00f2a province. After 1975, An H\u1ed9i commune dissolved.

They became what we now know as Ph\u01b0\u1eddng An H\u1ed9i.
Most recently, further changes occurred on October 24, 2024. The National Assembly Standing Committee issued Resolution 1237. This resolution concerned administrative arrangements at the commune level in B\u1ebfn Tre province during 2023-2025. Effective December 1, 2024, Ph\u01b0\u1eddng 4 and 5 were incorporated into Ph\u01b0\u1eddng An H\u1ed9i.
