History
Before 1975, the current Xuân Hòa ward (not include the triangle urban block of the former Ward 4) was the wards of Đài Chiến Sĩ and part of Yên Đổ of District 3, City of Saigon and both are divided by Yên Đổ Street (now is Lý Chính Thắng Street). Most of the wards in Saigon in the reign of South Vietnam were named after a street or a notable sight and Đài Chiến Sĩ (means 'Monument of Soldier') was the official name of the square surrounds the Turtle Lake, and Yên Đổ ward was named after the same name street. Later, when the Monument of Soldier Square renamed into the International Square, the Đài Chiến Sĩ ward was also renamed as Hiền Vương ward after the same name street (now is known as Võ Thị Sáu Street)
In 1976, wards of Hiền Vương and Yên Đổ are dissolved and established 7 numerical wards from 11 to 17 and belong to District 3, Ho Chi Minh City.
August 26, 1982, the Council of Ministers of Vietnam established the Decision No. 147-HĐBT. Accordingly, Ward 16 was dissolved and merged into Ward 15 and 17.
September 17, 1988, the Council of Ministers established the Decision No. 145-HĐBT. From that:
- Renamed Ward 11 as Ward 6
- Merged Ward 12 and 15 to establish Ward 7
- Merged Ward 13 and 14 to establish Ward 8.
Until 2019, Ward 6 has an area of 0,88 km2, population is 7.263 people; Ward 7 has an area of 0,92 km2, population is 12.595 people; Ward 8 has an area of 0,40 km2, population is 16.877 people.
On December 9, 2020, the Standing Committee of the National Assembly of Vietnam established the Resolution No. 1111/NQ-UBTVQH14 about rearranging the District and Commune-level subdivisions and settling the City of Thủ Đức of Ho Chi Minh City (the resolution takes effect from January 1, 2021).[7] Accordingly, the entire area and population of Ward 6, Ward 7, and Ward 8 will be merged to form Võ Thị Sáu Ward.
On June 16, 2025, the Standing Committee of the National Assembly issued Resolution 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15 on the rearrangement of commune-level administrative units in Ho Chi Minh City in 2025 (the resolution takes effect from July 1, 2025). Accordingly, the entire area and population of Võ Thị Sáu Ward and the city block of the former District 3 Police Department in Ward 4 will be rearranged to form a new ward called Xuân Hòa ward of Ho Chi Minh City.[8]
Etymology
During the 2025 administrative unit rearrangement at the commune level, Ho Chi Minh City decided to name the new wards and communes with letters (no longer using numbers or names of historical figures) with much consideration from the history of the land, familiarity and cultural values.[9] This policy was widely supported by the people.[10][11]
According to the book "Cultural Heritage Journey of Ho Chi Minh City" (Hành trình di sản văn hóa Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh; Vietnam News Agency Publishing House), the name Xuân Hòa has existed since 1880. At that time, some villages and hamlets according to the land register compiled in 1836 by the Nguyễn dynasty were abolished. Some new village and hamlet names appeared. Tân Định village was then renamed Xuan Hoa hamlet. Tân Định village temple was also renamed Xuân Hoà village temple.
Xuân Hoà village temple still preserves many valuable and rare artifacts dating from 100 to 200 years. On August 5, 2003, Xuân Hòa village temple was ranked as "The Municipality-level Architectural and Artistic Relic" (Di tích Kiến trúc Nghệ thuật Cấp Thành phố) by Decision No. 137/2003/QD-UB signed by the chairman of the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City.[8]
Thus, the name Xuân Hoà was given to the new ward based on the ancient name of this land and a village temple here.
