Hong Ha ward has a natural area of over 16km2, with a population of over 126,000 people. This is the inner-city administrative unit with the largest natural area in Hanoi and the largest population in the capital.
This unit includes the entire area and population of the wards: Chuong Duong, Phuc Tan (Hoan Kiem district), Phuc Xa (Ba Dinh district); most of Nhat Tan, Tu Lien, Yen Phu wards (Tay Ho district), Bach Dang, Thanh Luong (Hai Ba Trung district); part of Phu Thuong, Quang An wards (Tay Ho district) and Ngoc Thuy, Bo De wards (Long Bien district).
Hong Ha ward is also the ward that owns the last large land fund near Hoan Kiem lake. This place holds a strategic position as it is both close to the center and near major traffic routes, favorable for economic development.
The Hanoi People's Committee said that the name Hong Ha for the new ward is to honor the Red River - the river associated with the history of formation and development of Hanoi. Over many periods, the Red River has not only played a role as a development axis, an ecological corridor but also a natural defense line for Thang Long Citadel.
History has marked resounding feats associated with the Red River, such as the Lam Son army surrounding Dong Quan citadel, the headquarters of Le Loi - Nguyen Trai in Bo De port; or the Trinh Tung army (1492) and Nguyen Hue army (1786) following the waterway back to the Red River to attack Thang Long from the Southeast.
The choice of the new administrative unit name Hong Ha has historical, traditional and cultural value and has been approved and supported by the local people.
The administrative center of Hong Ha ward is located in the center of the new administrative unit, ensuring convenience in geography, socio-economic infrastructure and transportation, creating favorable conditions for connecting the government and people.
