Mỹ Tho (Vietnamese: Phường Mỹ Tho) is a ward of Đồng Tháp province, Vietnam. It is one of the 102 new wards and communes of the province following the reorganization in 2025.[3][4]

Administrative history

Previously, Mỹ Tho ward was part of the following wards: Ward 1, Ward 2 and ward Tân Long belonging to the old Mỹ Tho city.

June 12, 2025, 15th National Assembly Issued Resolution No. 202/2025/QH15 on the arrangement of provincial-level administrative units. Accordingly, the entire natural area and population size of the former Tiền Giang province were merged into Đồng Tháp province.[5]

On June 16, 2025, the Standing Committee of the National Assembly of Vietnam issued Resolution No. 1663/NQ-UBTVQH15 on the arrangement of commune-level administrative units of Đồng Tháp province (effective from July 1). Accordingly, the entire area and population size of wards: ward 1, ward 2, Tân Long ward of the old Mỹ Tho city were merged into a new ward named Mỹ Tho. (Excerpt from paragraph 83, article 1)[6]

  • The west borders the wards: Thới Sơn ward and Đạo Thạnh ward.
  • To the south, it borders the communes of Phú Túc and Giao Long of Vĩnh Long province, separated by the Mỹ Tho river.

With an area of 6.4 km2 (2.5 sq mi), Mỹ Tho ward is the smallest ward in Đồng Tháp province.
