Phú Thạnh
ward of Ho Chi Minh City
Phú Thạnh (Vietnamese: Phường Phú Thạnh) is a ward of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It is one of the 168 new wards, communes and special zones of the city following the reorganization in 2025.
History
On November 5, 2003, the government issued Decree 103/2003/ND-CP. It states that, Tân Phú district will be established by separating a part of Tân Bình district; and Phú Thạnh was established on the basis of 114 hectares of natural area and 28,847 people of Ward 18, Tân Bình district.
On June 16, 2025, the National Assembly Standing Committee issued Resolution No. 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15 on the arrangement of commune-level administrative units of Ho Chi Minh City in 2025 (effective from June 16, 2025). Accordingly, the entire land area and population of Hiệp Tân, Phú Thạnh wards and part of Tân Thới Hòa ward of the former Tân Phú district will be integrated into a new ward named Phú Thạnh (Clause 66, Article 1).
“Phú Thạnh” enters the record as ward of Ho Chi Minh City. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Thạnh, ward and Minh can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“Phú Thạnh” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Thạnh, ward and Minh provides the most credible route into that argument.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q10806107. Authority coordinates are 10.783, 106.626. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2025, 2003 and 1685.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
