History
Bình Minh was formerly a district of Vĩnh Long under the control of Republic of Vietnam. Its headquarters was located in Mỹ Thuận commune. During the 1975 Spring Offensive, the ARVN 21st division soldiers defended strictly at the ferry crossing between Can Tho-Binh Minh, VL Province. After Saigon government collapsed, Bình Minh became one of 10 districts of the newly established province Cửu Long in February 1976.
According to the decree 59/CP on 3 March 1977, the government decided to merge Bình Minh and Tam Bình into a new district named Tam Bình. In fact, Bình Minh and Tam Bình was two independent ones without any changes.
On 29 September 1981, Ministerial Council re-established Bình Minh district from the former part. Bình Minh comprised Cái Vồn town and 6 communes such as: Tân Quới, Tân Lược, Thành Lợi, Mỹ Thuận, Mỹ Hòa, Đông Thành.
Under the decree no 86-HĐBT dated 27 March 1985, Mỹ Thuận commune was split into 3 new communes: Mỹ Thuận commune, Nguyễn Văn Thảnh commune and Thuận An commune under control of Bình Minh district, Cửu Long province.
Since 1991, Bình Minh district has been one of 6 districts of the newly reestablished province, Vĩnh Long.
