Phúc Thọ [fuk˧˥:tʰɔ̰ʔ˨˩] is a commune of Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, in the Red River Delta of the Northern Vietnam.[2]
History
[edit]Its name Phúc Thọ has been interpreted as a way of preserving the cultural, historical, and traditional values of the old district.[1]
XX century
[edit]Phúc Thọ Township (福壽市鎮, thị trấn Phúc Thọ) was established in 1994 by the Hà Tây Provincial People's Committee on the basis of merging two communes Phúc Hòa and Thọ Lộc. It has served as the capital of Phúc Thọ rural district for 30 years since then. However, the local authority has been frequently criticized by the press for poor management and even corruption, which has kept the living standards of the common people here the lowest in the whole Hà Tây province.[3]
XXI century
[edit]On June 16, 2025, to meet the urgent needs of the plan to arrange and merge administrative units by the Central Government, the Hanoi City People's Committee has issued a Decision to dissolve all districts in their area. In rural areas, communes have been merged to reduce waste in administrative and economic plannings. According to that policy, Phúc Thọ Commune (福壽社, xã Phúc Thọ) was established through the merger of former administrative units, as follows : Phúc Thọ Township and five communes Long Thượng, Phúc Hòa, Phụng Thượng, Tích Lộc, Trạch Mỹ Lộc.[4]
Geography
[edit]Topography
[edit]Phúc Thọ Commune has relatively flat terrain and almost no mountains. This area is the confluence of the three largest rivers in the Red River Delta : Hát Giang, Hồng Hà, and Tích Giang. That feature brings advantages in transportation and agriculture, but also causes serious consequences for people's lives every rainy season.
