Bình Dương (

listen) is a province of Vietnam. It is located in the Southeast region of the country, immediately to the north of Ho Chi Minh City. The province was created from Sông Bé Province on January 1, 1997.

Geography[edit]

Bình Dương Province is situated on relatively level terrain, and is crossed by the Saigon, Đồng Nai, and Bé river. On the other hand, it also has some hills. From the Lai Thieu central church view, you overlook Binh Duong, it looks like some places of Lam Dong province. Binh Duong is a flat lands, but it is higher than Ho Chi Minh City

Demographics[edit]

Originally, the area now known as Bình Dương was heavily forested, and was dominated by peoples of the Xtiêng, Cho Ro, Mnong, and Khmer Krom ethnic groups. In the 17th century, however, ethnic Vietnamese settlers arrived in the region from the east. Most were peasants, seeking to escape poverty by gaining land of their own. There were also a number of refugees from a war between two feudal houses. In 1698, there were enough people in the area that a prominent Vietnamese general was sent to establish official institutions and enforce law. From that point, Bình Dương developed rapidly, with extensive clearance of forests to make room for crops. The province is now dominated by ethnic Vietnamese.

Administrative divisions[edit]

Bình Dương is subdivided into 9 district-level sub-divisions:

4 districts:

4 district-level towns:

Bến Cát (recently upgraded from district status)
Dĩ An
Thuận An
Tân Uyên (recently upgraded from district status)

1 provincial city:
- Thủ Dầu Một (capital)

They are further subdivided into 2 commune-level towns (or townlets), 48 communes, and 41 wards.

Economy[edit]

The area is considered to be good cropland, and agriculture is an important industry in the province. Bình Dương is also home to a significant manufacturing industry, and in the first half of 2004, the province had the second highest levels of foreign investment in Vietnam. Nike, Adidas, H&M and McDonald's have set up factories to manufacture goods they sell locally and abroad in the province. The southern Dĩ An and Thuận An wards are highly urbanised and are now encompassed within the Ho Chi Minh City metropolitan area.
