Hoang Mai town was established in 2013 on the basis of adjusting the area and population separated from Quynh Luu district. This is the 21st district-level unit of Nghe An.

Hoang Mai town is striving to achieve the criteria of a type III urban area before 2025. The issuance of a number of specific mechanisms and policies to support Hoang Mai town plays a very important and necessary role in upgrading infrastructure as a driving force for socio-economic development, soon achieving the goal of a type III urban area, gradually developing an industrial, service, agricultural, civilized, modern urban area; being one of the centers of industrial production; being the urban core of the Hoang Mai - Quynh Luu region and the northern growth pole of Nghe An.
