History
During the Republic of Vietnam era, Mũi Né was the district capital of Hải Long district, Bình Thuận province.[2][3] After 1975, Hải Long district merged with Hàm Thuận and Thiện Giáo districts to form Hàm Thuận district, Thuận Hải province.[4] At that time, Mũi Né was part of Hàm Dũng commune, Hàm Thuận district.[2]
On March 13, 1979, the Government Council issued Decision 104-CP.[5] According to this decision, Hàm Dũng commune was dissolved to establish Mũi Né town as the district capital of Hàm Thuận district.[6]
On December 30, 1982, the Council of Ministers issued Decision 204-HĐBT.[7][8] According to this decision, Hàm Thuận district was divided into two new districts: Hàm Thuận Bắc and Hàm Thuận Nam.[9][10] At the same time, Mũi Né town was placed under the administration of Phan Thiết town and was renamed Mũi Né ward.
