History
editIts name Đắc Song (Kinh language) was from old name Daàk-sơng in Mnong language. It means "the stream of pine trees".
However, there is a paradox is that, this name came from a gossip of the Kinh people reclaiming in the middle of the 20th century : Suối Tùng. It means "the spring of pine trees".
Culture
editToday Dak Song is still praised by Vietnamese media as an "ideal land" for the development of the most elite pine trees, which provides abundant raw materials for the steaming industry of the room oil processing in Saigon and surrounding areas.
