History
editDuring the period 938-1470, An Nhơn was in the heartland of the Champa kingdom, with the capital at Đồ Bàn (now in Nhơn Hậu). In 1470, An Nhơn was in Tuy Viễn district. In 1602, Nguyễn Hoàng changed the name from Hoài Nhơn to Quy Nhơn. In 1778, the Tây Sơn dynasty settled and developed An Nhơn into the emperor's fortress. In May 1799, after accounting for the stronghold, Nguyễn Ánh changed its name to Bình Định. In 1832, Minh Mạng created the district of An Nhơn in its current form.
