Long An province
Long An was a province in the Mekong Delta region of southern Vietnam. The provincial capital is Tân An city, and other major districts and town include Kiến Tường, Bến Lức, Cần Giuộc and Đức Hòa. There are 15 districts within the province (included 1 provincial capital city and 1 district-level town).
The region is between Ho Chi Minh City and Southeast region in the north and the Mekong Delta. Because of its low lying geography, it is susceptible to sea level rise caused by climate change.
On 12 June 2025, Long An was incorporated into Tây Ninh province.
Long An is situated in an advantageous position in the Southern Key Economic Region of Vietnam. It serves as a bridge between Ho Chi Minh City in the north and 12 provinces in the Mekong Delta in the south. The province also has Cambodia to its west and the South China Sea to its east.
Long An is a low-lying coastal region, and therefore some areas of it are subject to flooding during the rainy season, which lasts from the beginning of August until November.
The province has numerous rivers. Two of the main ones are the Vàm Cỏ Đông and Vàm Cỏ Tay, which connect with the Tiền to form a larger river system. Another important river in the region is the Soài Rạp.
Archaeological sites show that, since ancient times, Long An has been an important territory of the Funan-Zhenla kingdom. When Nguyễn Hữu Cảnh came to explore the South, Long An belonged to Gia Định prefecture. During the reign of Minh Mạng, Long An belonged to Gia Định province and partly to Định Tường province. In the early days of French colonization, Nam Kỳ was divided into 21 provinces, and Long An was located within the two provinces of Tân An and Chợ Lớn.
Long An is subdivided into 15 district-level sub-divisions:
