History

This area was originally Vĩnh Tuy Trang. In 1740, King Lê Hiển Tông ascended the throne and took the reign name Cảnh Hưng, so Vĩnh Hưng Trang was renamed Vĩnh Tuy commune.[2]

On 21 December 1974, the People's Committee of Hanoi issued a decision[a] on the establishment of the Vĩnh Tuy sub-district within the Hai Bà Trưng ward.

In December 1978, the Hanoi People's Committee issued a decision[b] on the reorganization of the Vĩnh Tuy sub-district in the Hai Bà Trưng neighborhood.

In 1980, the Vĩnh Tuy sub-district belonged to the Hai Bà Trưng neighborhood.

On 3 January 1981, the Government Council issued Decision No. 3-CP on unifying the names of administrative units in urban areas.[3]

On 10 June 1981, the People's Committee of Hanoi issued a Decision[c] on:

  • Renaming Hai Ba Trung neighborhood to Hai Ba Trung district.
  • Establishing Vinh Tuy ward within Hai Ba Trung district.

As of 31 December 2024, Vinh Tuy ward has an area of 1.60 km2 and a population of 46,929 people.[4]

On 16 June 2025, The National Assembly decided to consolidate a portion of the natural area and population of the wards of Vĩnh Tuy and Thanh Lương (Hai Bà Trung), Vĩnh Hưng and Mai Động (Hoàng Mai) into a new ward called Vĩnh Tuy ward (phường Vĩnh Tuy).[5]
