Ho Chi Minh City, also known by its former name of
Saigon, is the largest city in Vietnam by population. It was known as Prey
Nokor prior to annexation by the Vietnamese in the 17th century. Under the name
Saigon, it was the capital of the French colony of Cochinchina and later of the
independent republic of South Vietnam 1955–75. On 2 July 1976, Saigon merged
with the surrounding Gia Định Province and was officially
renamed Ho Chi Minh City after revolutionary leader Hồ Chí Minh (although the name Sài Gòn is still widely used).
