Đắk Nông, anglicized as Daknong, was a former southern mountainous province in the Central Highlands region, the Central of Vietnam. It borders Đắk Lắk to the north, Lâm Đồng to the southeast, Bình Phước and Mondulkiri of Cambodia to the west. It was dissolved and merged with Lâm Đồng province on 12 June 2025.
Name
Its name comes from the Đăk Nông River, an upper stream of the Đồng Nai River. Daàk-nông means "River of the Mnong" in Mnong language.
Geography
Đắk Nông is about 500m above sea level in elevation. The terrain is lower in the west. Đắk Nông has large fields and lakes in the south. Đắk Nông has three main river systems: the Ba River, the Srepok (or Sêrêpôk) river (part of the Mekong river basin) and Đồng Nai river demarking the southern border of the Province, with other small rivers and tributaries. Tà Đùng National Park helps to provide riparian zone protection for the Đồng Nai River basin.
Climate
The average temperature is 24 degrees Celsius. The rainy season starts in May and ends in October. The dry season starts in November and ends in April the year after.
Economy
Like Đắk Lắk province, coffee, pepper and rubber are the most important products of Đắk Nông. Đắk Nông is a potential province of tourism. There are many beautiful sites such as Ba Tang Waterfall, Diệu Thanh Waterfall, and Nâm Nung pine hill.
Transportation
In terms of air travel, the province does not have its own airport with nearest airports located in either the provinces of Đắk Lắk or Lâm Đồng provinces.
Administrative divisions
Đắk Nông is subdivided into eight district-level sub-divisions:
::data[format=table] | Second Tier subdivisions | Area (km2) | Third Tier subdivisions | Ward | Township | Commune | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Gia Nghĩa city | 286.64 | 5 | | 3 | | | Cư Jút District | 718.90 | | 1 | 7 | | | Đăk Glong District | | | | 7 | | | Đăk Mil District | 682.70 | | 1 | 9 | | | Đăk R'Lấp District | 63.42 | | 1 | 10 | | | Đăk Song District | 808.10 | | 1 | 8 | | | Krông Nô District | 816.80 | | 1 | 11 | | | Tuy Đức District | 1123.27 | | | 6 | | ::
They are further subdivided into five commune-level towns (or townlets), 61 communes, and five wards.
History
Before 1975, Đắk Nông was part of South Vietnam (Republic of Vietnam) and was formerly named Quảng Đức Province. However, after the 1975 Việt Cộng victory and reunification with southern Vietnam in the Vietnam War, Quảng Đức was conjoined with Đắk Lắk Province.
