History
In 1874, with the Giáp Tuất Treaty, the six provinces of Cochinchina, including Tây Ninh, officially became a French colony. By 1876, the French colonial authorities divided Cochinchina into four administrative regions, and Tây Ninh at that time belonged to Saigon.
Moving into the 20th century, in 1942, the provincial head of Tây Ninh submitted a proposal to establish a township in Thái Hiệp Thạnh commune. This proposal was approved by the French colonial government, marking the first step in the urban development of Tây Ninh.
After the August Revolution in 1945, Tây Ninh maintained its administrative boundaries. By 1950, Tây Ninh township was established, but due to unfavorable conditions, it was later dissolved. After the 1954 Geneva Accords, Tây Ninh township was re-established in the old area, including a part of Thái Hiệp Thạnh commune and surrounding areas. After 1975, Tây Ninh township consisted of three inner-city wards.
In 2001, Tây Ninh township was expanded, incorporating more communes and establishing new wards. In 2012, Tây Ninh township was recognized as a grade-III urban area. And on December 29, 2013, Tây Ninh city was officially established. On March 14, 2025, Tây Ninh city was recognized as a grade-II urban area directly under Tây Ninh province.
