Agriculture and manufacturing industry
[edit ]With its vast agricultural land covering over 85% of the natural land area (equivalent to 370,000 ha), favorable hot and humid climate all year round, relatively flat terrain, and the presence of the Vam Co Dong river and Dau Tieng reservoir bed irrigation system, Tay Ninh has excellent natural and climate conditions. These factors guarantee a consistent water supply for hundreds of thousands of hectares of agricultural land, making it an ideal location for cultivating a wide range of tropical agricultural products. Rubber, sugar cane, and cassava are the most commonly grown crops in Tay Ninh nowadays.
Phuoc Dong Industrial Park, one of the largest industrial zone in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, is situated 24 miles away from the city. The park covers an area of 2,190 ha and is part of a larger complex spanning 3,285 ha, which includes Go Dau and Trang Bang districts. The strategic location of Phuoc Dong complex provides easy access to the Ho Chi Minh City - Moc Bai Expressway, Thanh Phuoc transshipment port, and Moc Bai international border gate.

History
[edit ]In 1874, with the Giáp Tuất Treaty, the six provinces of Cochinchina, including Tây Ninh, officially became a French colony.[3] By 1876, the French colonial authorities divided Cochinchina into four administrative regions, and Tây Ninh at that time belonged to Saigon.[4]
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.[4]
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.[4] fter 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.[5]
In 2001, Tây Ninh township was expanded, incorporating more communes and establishing new wards.[6] 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.[7]
