A Look at History

During the time of the August Revolution, the people of Bình Dương rose up to take control of their province. They formed a group called the Provincial People's Committee to govern. Later, this group changed its name to the Provincial Resistance Administrative Committee.

In late September 1945, when British and French forces tried to regain control of Southern Vietnam, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam decided to resist. Following a new plan, the local Communist Party committee in Bình Dương also changed its approach. They continued to lead the revolutionary movement under the name Việt Minh, working to develop the province and its people.
