1. Which is the only province in Vietnam that has never merged or changed its name in the past hundreds of years?

Exactly

Before the time of administrative unit merger, Vietnam had 2 provinces established in feudal times, never merged or separated, which were Thai Binh and Thanh Hoa.

Thai Binh was established in 1890, and for 135 years has not undergone any separation, merger or name change. As a province located in the Red River Delta, with an area of ​​nearly 1,600 km2, Thai Binh was previously among the 10 smallest provinces in the country. When our country reorganized its administrative units, Thai Binh was merged with Hung Yen to form the (new) Hung Yen province.

Thus, currently only Thanh Hoa still retains its original name and administrative boundaries during the process of formation and development.

According to the Thanh Hoa Province Electronic Information Portal, from the beginning of the Ly Dynasty from 1009 to 1028, Ly Thai To initially named Thanh Hoa today as Trai Ai Chau. In 1029, under the reign of King Ly Thai Tong, in the second year of Thien Thanh, he named it Thanh Hoa Prefecture. From then on, the following dynasties sometimes called it a prefecture, sometimes a road, sometimes a town, and called it Thanh Hoa province during the Nguyen Dynasty.

The name Hoa was sometimes changed to Hoa, then back to Hoa; during the reign of King Thieu Tri, Nguyen Dynasty (1841), the king issued an edict saying: Thanh Hoa is an ancient name, determined by previous dynasties, so there is no reason to change this name, but the name Thanh Hoa province must be kept.

On July 12, 2017, at the third session, the 17th term People's Council of Thanh Hoa province resolved to take the year 1029 as the year of birth of the name Thanh Hoa as an administrative unit directly under the Central Government.
