Phường Hòa Hiệp Bắc

Did the name Hòa Hiệp Bắc ever cross your radar before today? As we stand here, at the heart of this ward in Da Nang, you’re about to discover a place rich in history and resilience. Hòa Hiệp Bắc, officially established in 2005, was carved from a section of Hòa Hiệp ward. This area encompasses a significant 42.66 square kilometers. As of 2005, approximately 15,000 people called Hòa Hiệp Bắc home. This area, nestled within the Liên Chiểu district, is more than just statistics. It holds stories of courage, resilience, and transformation. Hòa Hiệp Bắc sits near the coast. It’s also close to the modern development of Golden Hills with its beachfront road Nguyen Tat Thanh stretching alongside. However, the area’s past whispers of different times. This land resonates with echoes of fierce battles fought during the Vietnam War. The hamlets of Kim Liên, Thủy Tú, Nam Ô, and Xuân Thiều, all within this ward, are etched into the narrative of the nation’s struggle. Thủy Tú, for example, stands as a testament to the unwavering spirit of the people. From 1965 to 1969, they resisted relocation efforts by American forces, clinging to their land. Even when forced to resettle in Cồn Dầu, the residents found ways to connect with the resistance and maintain supply lines. Hòa Hiệp Bắc is a place where everyday people became heroes. Families like that of Mr. Phạm Thị Điện and Mrs. Phạm Thị Sâm, who lost four of their five children in the war. Young men joined the local militia, the district’s forces, and the security, civil affairs, and even liaison and reconnaissance units. They contributed to the resounding Tết Mậu Thân Offensive in 1968. They also played a crucial role in the historic Ho Chi Minh Campaign. The scars of war are still present in Hòa Hiệp Bắc, but the spirit of the people remains unbroken. They rebuilt their lives and their community. They transitioned from primarily agricultural livelihoods to embrace the rise of a modern urban landscape. Hòa Hiệp Bắc stands as a testament to the enduring human spirit, a place where history and progress intertwine.
