Đồng Tháp () is a province in the Mekong Delta region of southern Vietnam. Đồng Tháp is 165 km away from Ho Chi Minh City, bordered by Pray Veng Province (Cambodia) in the north with a length of more than 48 km; Vĩnh Long and Cần Thơ in the south; An Giang in the west; and Long An and Tiền Giang in the east. ==History== Đồng Tháp is a newly cultivated area in about 17th and 18th century, under the Nguyễn lords. Foundation of this area adhered to powerful struggling history against nature, dangerous animals and aggressors. The south of Đồng Tháp province whose center is Sa Đéc plays a very significant role. Many researches have shown that overseas Vietnamese got to come to Sa Đéc area for reclaiming and setting up hamlets at least at the end of 17th century or at the beginning of 18th century. Sa Đéc is a Khmer word meaning "iron market". Does this market sell agricultural tools made of iron or was the frame of this market made of iron? There has not had any reasonable explanations for these concerns however Sa Dec is probably considered the newest area on the way to develop the country in 1757 led by Nguyễn Cư Trinh, a mandarin who was known for his achievement in reassuring people in Quảng Ngãi. After the civil war between Nguyễn Ánh and Tây Sơn siblings, Gia Long was on the throne to help stabilize Sa Đéc and made it become a part of Vĩnh An district. Sa Đéc then with a favorable geographical location, did become the most crowded trading center of Mekong delta at that time, only smaller than Saigon, Cholon. Cao Lãnh located in the north of Tiền river also has a glorious history. It is recorded in historical books that at the end of 17th century, or early of 18th century, some overseas Vietnamese at Ba Canh hamlet (currently belonging to Đập Đá commune, Đập Đá town, Bình Định province) came to cultivate, settled down near Cái Sao Thượng rivulet, forming Bả Canh commune. Nguyễn Tú was accredited with having gathered people, cultivated and set up hamlets. He was elevated to the status of Tiền Hiền - an anciently righteous person - of the village. Nowadays, that stele has been found near Đình Trung bridge, ward 2, Cao Lãnh city. Cao Lãnh used to be the stopover of many patriots such as Trần Chánh Chiếu, Nguyễn Sinh Sắc...People in Cao Lãnh consistently struggled, tremendously contributing to the absolute victory of South of Vietnam in historical campaign Ho Chi Minh, united the whole country, and Cao Lãnh, since April 30, 1975, was merged with Sa Đéc to become Đồng Tháp nowadays. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Đồng Tháp Province」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
