History

The modern area of Ngọc Khánh Ward has previously belonged to two of the 13 barracks, which was established in the period 1028–1054 by Emperor Lý Thái Tông to control the number of immigrants from Tràng An the former capital. They have been called as hamlets Ngọc Khánh (玉慶) and Thủ Lệ^{[note 2]} (守礼). In particular, Ngọc Khánh has always maintained a larger area and population, not to mention the presence of the big lake^{[note 3]} right next to, so over time it has become more important than Thủ Lệ in the administrative history of Hanoi.

From July 1, 2025, its entire area is part of new wards Láng and Ngọc Hà.^[4][5]
