Hoc Mon district has been popular with the uprising of the 18 Vuon Trau (ArecaGarden) hamlets against the French colonists in 1885, which later spread toother southern localities. However, it was cruelly suppressed by the French colonists.

In August 1941, theFrench administration arrested and sent several leaders of the SouthernRegional Party Committee, including Nguyen Van Cu, Vo Van Tan, Phan Dang Luu,Nguyen Thi Minh Khai and others, to the firing squad.

The French set up three firing grounds to execute the revolutionaries. One ofthem was at Nga Ba Giong (Giong T Junction).

Though the uprising was a failure, it helped to spur the August Revolution of1945.

During the resistance war against the US, Nga Ba Giong saw glorious feats ofthe military and locals in Xuan Thoi Thuong commune.

On the occasion, President Phuc visited and presented gifts to several policy beneficiaryfamilies in the district, including heroic Vietnamese mothers Nguyen Thi Se andDo Thi Net, and wounded soldier Le Van Cao./.
