History
The name Bạc Liêu is based on the Chinese pronunciation of a Khmer name (Pol Leav ពលលាវ in Khmer). In the 1950s the area was a center of Huỳnh Phú Sổ's Hòa Hảo religion after Sổ was released there.
On June 16, 2025, the Standing Committee of the National Assembly issued Resolution No. 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15. The city was dissolved and new wards were rearranged from the district.
