Its name
Thanh Xuân (
Hán Nôm: 青春) was decided by the
Hanoi City People's Committee to preserve the cultural, historical, religious and especially political significance of the
old administrative unit. Until 1982, Thanh Xuân Litte Zone was renamed
Thanh Xuân Bắc Ward (phường Thanh Xuân Bắc), still belonging to
Đống Đa Urban District. On December 28, 1996,
Thanh Xuân Urban District (quận Thanh Xuân) was established on the basis of separating the part across
Tô Lịch River of
Đống Đa district and merging some more vacant land plots in the north of
Hà Đông Town.
21st century On June 16, 2025, in response to Resolution 1656/NQ-UBTVQH15 of the
Standing Committee of the National Assembly of Vietnam on the
arrangement and merger of administrative units, Thanh Xuân District was officially dissolved. On the basis of the former district, three new wards
Khương Đình,
Thanh Liệt, and Thanh Xuân were established. Accordingly,
Thanh Xuân Ward (phường Thanh Xuân) was formed based on the structure of administration, area and population from : • The whole of four
Thanh Xuân wards Nhân Chính, Thanh Xuân Bắc, Thanh Xuân Trung, and Thượng Đình. • The small part of two wards Trung Hòa (
Cầu Giấy district) and Trung Văn (
Nam Từ Liêm district). New Thanh Xuân Ward inherits most of the advantages of the former district through the area of former Thanh Xuân Trung Ward, where many administrative, educational, and economic agencies of the Nam Thăng Long area were concentrated. ==Geography==
