Trà Vinh City ( Preah Trapeang ) is a city in Vĩnh Long province in Southern Vietnam.
Etymology
Trà Vang was an old name used for this area, a hinterland with a sparse population.
In 1825, the area of Trà Vinh was established by King Minh Mạng into Lạc Hóa district also known as chà-văng or chà-vinh.
In 1951, the name Vĩnh Trà appeared, a combination of Vĩnh from Vĩnh Long and Trà from Trà Vinh.
The name was changed again from Trà Vinh to Vĩnh Binh in 1957 with Phú Vinh as its capital city.
In 1976, Cửu Long province came to be by merging Vĩnh Long province and Trà Vinh.
The name Trà Vinh comes from the Khmer name of the area ព្រះត្រពាំង Preah Trapeang, which means Sacred pond or Buddha's pond. The Vietnamese transliteration gave Trà Vang and later Trà Vinh.
