Have you ever heard of a ward that was once a commune? Phường Thới An is one of the most important wards in District 12, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It’s like a small town within the city, with a rich history that stretches back to the Nguyễn Dynasty. Before 1975, the area was known as Phước Kiên Commune, a quiet agricultural region outside Saigon. Here, people made a living from farming and fishing. They had a simple life. However, the commune’s fate changed dramatically after the Vietnam War. In 1997, the government restructured the city, transforming Phước Kiên Commune into Phường Thới An, a full-fledged ward within District 12. The ward’s growth was facilitated by the development of infrastructure. Roads and bridges were built, connecting the ward to the rest of the city. Today, Phường Thới An is a vibrant area that is home to many businesses and markets. It’s a testament to the resilience of the Vietnamese people and their ability to adapt and overcome challenges.
