What whispers echo from the past here in Thượng Nhất? Thượng Nhất, a seemingly quiet village nestled within Ha Long, holds a fascinating history. Once a part of Hoành Bồ District, Thượng Nhất officially became a village on October 5, 1950. This wasn’t a spontaneous creation. It was a merger of two existing villages: Cộng Hòa and Đoàn Kết. Đoàn Kết itself was formed just a year earlier in 1949. It was created from the union of Yên Thọ, Vũ Oai, and Lương Khê. Cộng Hòa also emerged in 1949, from the villages of Xích Thọ, Giang Võng, and Đá Trắng. This layered history gives Thượng Nhất a rich tapestry of interwoven communities. The village then became part of Ha Long city on January 1, 2020, when Hoành Bồ District was absorbed into the city. Thượng Nhất covers a substantial area of 81.45 square kilometers. In 1999, the population was recorded at 8,039, giving it a population density of about 99 people per square kilometer. The village is not just a geographical location. It represents the convergence of diverse communities over time. It’s a place where history whispers through the generations, offering a glimpse into the evolving landscape of Vietnam.
