If you use a boat to go on a section of Kenh Te, continue to Kenh Doi, cross Cho Dem river to the end of District 8, you have to go a waterway 11,850 meters long. But if you cross the direction of District 8, only about 2,252 meters is the widest area bordering District 5 and District 6.

History of District 8
In 1698, when Nguyen Huu Canh went to the South to establish Gia Dinh government with 2 districts of Phuoc Long and Tan Binh, the area of District 8 now belongs to Tan Long, Tan Binh district.
In the Gia Long Dynasty, the year of the Dragon year (1808), Tan Binh district became Tan Binh district, the two cantons of Binh Duong and Tan Long became districts, adding 2 cantons to each district, taking the two letters of the district and putting the name of each canton at the beginning of the name of each canton. . Binh Duong district has two cantons: Binh Tu and Duong Hoa. Tan Long district has two cantons, Tan Phong and Long Hung. The land in District 8 today is located in Tan Phong canton, the southern strip of land belongs to Long Hung canton.
According to the list of villages, wards, hamlets and prostitutes made by Trinh Hoai Dat in the list. “Gia Dinh Thanh Thong Chi”, compared with some places that still exist today, under Gia Long dynasty, on the land of District 8 today, there were Long Vinh, Binh Long, Hiep An, Tan Nhuan villages. , Binh Dang, Binh Dong, Tu Xuan, An Phu Tay, ..vv…
Under the reign of Minh Mang, the population increased much, the land was also exploited more. In 1836, the delegations of Truong Quoc Que and Truong Minh Giang carried out a large-scale survey to establish the terrain for each village and ward. On this occasion, the administrative units were adjusted to suit the locality. Therefore, a number of communes and wards were added.
According to local research documents on Gia Dinh province under Minh Mang’s reign, District 8 at that time consisted of many villages and wards belonging to many sums of two districts of Binh Duong and Tan Long. It is the hamlet of Binh Thuyen of Ong Lon canal country of Binh Tri Thuong canton, Binh Duong district, Hung Thanh village, Tan Quang village of Tan Phong Thuong canton, Binh Long village, Hiep An village, Luong Hoa Dong village, Phong Phu village. , a part of Tan Nhi Dong village, Thai Phong village, a part of Phong Duoc village, belonging to Tan Phong Ha canton, Hoa Muc village, Hung Phu village, Long Vinh village, Tan Thuan village, Thuan Duc village, Vinh Hoi village, a part Chanh Hung village, belonging to Tan Phong Trung canton, a part of An Phu Tay village belonging to Long Hung Ha canton, Tan Long district.
The above hamlets existed until 1859 under the reign of Tu Duc, the French colonialists captured Gia Dinh citadel and established colonial rule throughout Cochinchina in the six provinces. In the area of Ben Nghe and Saigon are two important economic centers, the French established two separate streets, with the name Saigon City is the old Ben Nghe area, Cho Lon City is the old Saigon area.
Cho Lon city at first was mainly a trading and handicraft production area of the Chinese, with an area of only about one square kilometer. After the situation stabilized, more and more people migrated or migrated to do business, and the scope of Cholon City was expanded. Rural villages adjacent to the city were merged in turn, including villages located along the banks of An Thong river and Kinh Ruot Ngua in District 8. In 1905, the French dug Kinh Te from Rach Ban estuary. adjacent to the Saigon River where Tan Thuan Bridge reaches the An Thong River, crosses the Ong Lon canal with a length of 4,200 meters, making an important waterway going down to the West, boats no longer have to enter the Ben Nghe river at Khanh Hoi bridge. The last section of this canal flows through District 8 in wards 1 and 2 today.
Following in 1906 – 1908, the French again dug Kinh Doi, from the Y-shaped bridge, at the confluence of the An Thong (Tau Hu) and Kinh Te rivers, to the Can Giuoc river, 8,995 meters long and 85 meters wide. Digging land is brought to the two banks, creating a ground for people to gather to build houses. The population increased rapidly.
In 1931, the French merged the two cities of Saigon and Cho Lon together into a single administrative unit, called the Saigon – Cho Lon area. The new city area is divided into 5 districts, the police consider security and order, and in terms of administration, the city manager works directly with households as the administrative infrastructure unit. At that time, there were a number of households in District 8 such as household 12 in ward 15, Xom Cui, household 16 in Phu Dinh, household 17 in Ba Tang bridge area…
The above administrative system lasted until the August Revolution and during 9 years of resistance against the French colonialists. In 1963, Bao Dai’s government also rearranged the administrative units of the Saigon citadel, re-dividing the area of District 8 today at that time as District 4 and District 5.
After the Geneva agreement, the Saigon government carried out a broad reform in the administrative base. The capital city of Saigon is divided into 8 administrative districts. The area of District 8 today is the new District 7 and District 8, each district is divided into many wards. Each ward is divided into several clans.
District 8 has 5 wards: Xom Cui, Hung Phu, Binh An, Chanh Hung and Rach Ong. District 7 has 6 wards namely Cay Sung, Binh Dong, Rach Cat, Phu Dinh, Ben Da and Hang Thai wards. This administrative change was maintained until the liberation date of April 30, 1975.
After the South was completely liberated, the Revolutionary government reorganized the administrative facilities in the city. Districts and districts also changed, in which the old District 7 and District 8 were merged into District 8 with 22 new wards, named by number, from number 1 to number 22.
On July 17, 1986, implementing Decision No. 8-HDBT, the wards of District 8 were adjusted as follows:
- Merged part of old ward 3 with part of old ward 2 into new ward 3.
- Merged the rest of the old ward 7 with the old ward 8 into the new ward 5.
- Rename the old wards 9 to the new ward 6, the old ward 22 to the new ward 7, the old ward 10 to the new ward 8.
- Merging part of the old ward 12 with the old ward 11 to form a new ward 9.
- Merged the rest of the old ward 12 with the old ward 13 to form the new ward 10.
- Merged part of the old ward 15, part of the old ward 16 and ward 14 into the new ward 11.
- Rename the rest of ward 16 to the new ward 13.
- Merged part of the old ward 19 with ward 18 to form a new ward 14.
- Merged the rest of the old ward 19 with the old ward 20 to form the new ward 15.
- Rename the old ward 21 to the new ward 16.
After adjustment, in 1986, District 8 was left with 16 wards, named from number 1 to number 16 and that adjustment has lasted to this day.
Thus, the place name of District 8 has only appeared nearly half a century ago, but the area of District 8 today was more than 300 years ago along with the history of Gia Dinh land at that time.
