Received the Government's Excellent Emulation Flag
Thanh Chuong town land existed tens of thousands of years ago, through archaeologists have excavated artifacts of ancient Vietnamese people, belonging to Son Vi culture.
Thanh Chuong town was established under Decision No. 141/QD-HDBT, dated October 27, 1984 of the Council of Ministers (now the Government), on the basis of separating part of the area and population of 3 communes: Dong Van, Thanh Dong, Thanh Ngoc.
In the early days of its establishment, the town was small in size, with just over 280 natural hectares and a population of over 5,000 people. Exactly 27 years after its establishment, Thanh Chuong town continued to be adjusted and expanded with a total natural area of 6.54 km2.2on the basis of merging a part of the area and population of Thanh Ngoc and Dong Van communes, in Resolution No. 96/NQ-CP, dated October 11, 2011 of the Government.
Because it was established on the basis of rural residents, except for a few households belonging to cadres, civil servants, and employees of agencies and units, the basic activities are agricultural production and small-scale trading. The starting point of the population's life and socio-economic infrastructure are also very difficult, especially the transport infrastructure.
Looking back to the early days of establishment 40 years ago, we can see that today's development is a great effort of the Party Committee, Government and People of Thanh Chuong town. The most obvious thing is that the economy has developed in a variety of industries and fields, in which industry, handicrafts, construction, services and trade account for the majority at 96% and agriculture only 4%. There are currently nearly 1,000 business households; 70 small and medium enterprises in operation; the average income per capita in 2023 will reach 95 million VND/person. The infrastructure system has received synchronous investment attention, from urban traffic to schools, medical stations, cultural houses associated with cultural and sports facilities in residential areas...
The cultural - social, security - defense fields are taken care of by the Party Committee, the government and each citizen; contributing to improving the quality of spiritual cultural enjoyment and ensuring a safe environment for the town's people. In particular, the Party Committee, the Government and the people of the town have united, made efforts, joined hands, and expressed "the Party's will - the people's heart" as one to complete the 9 civilized urban criteria and were recognized by the People's Committee of Thanh Chuong district as meeting the civilized urban standards in 2024; and were awarded the Excellent Emulation Flag by the Prime Minister in 2023.
Organizing the 40th Anniversary Ceremony and receiving the Government's Excellent Emulation Flag and the decision to recognize the civilized urban standards, the Party Committee, Government and People of Thanh Chuong town have more motivation to continue to make efforts and strive to develop into a type IV urban area according to the Nghe An Provincial Planning for the period 2021 - 2030, with a vision to 2050, at the same time, creating even development between regions after merging Thanh Linh and Thanh Dong communes into the upcoming town.

Therefore, the task for the town after the merger is to do a good job of planning with a long-term vision, fundamental and highly feasible; associated with attracting investment in production projects, urban areas; promoting the development of trade - services, clean agriculture, high technology, commodity production...
Along with economic growth, we need to take care of cultural and social development; ensure national defense and security; pay attention to building a strong Party and political system to meet the requirements of performing tasks in the new period, and bring the town to a higher level of development in the coming time.
