During the resistance war against American imperialism, National Highway 15A - where Truong Bon is located - was a particularly important strategic location, connecting the North - South traffic arteries.

Truong Bon became the fire coordinate in the escalating bombing campaigns of the US imperialists in the North of our country to cut off the traffic artery for transporting human resources and materials to support the battlefield in the South.
