Merged and split twice
During the Tran Dynasty, the name Tuyen Quang first appeared in ancient books with the name: Tuyen Quang Road. In 1397 (the 10th year of Quang Thai), Ho Quy Ly changed the name of Tuyen Quang Road to Tuyen Quang town. In 1466 (the 7th year of Quang Thuan), King Le Thanh Tong divided the country into 12 provinces, including Tuyen Quang province.
In the 10th lunar month of the year of Tan Mao, or November 1831, King Minh Mang carried out a reform of the national administrative apparatus, dividing the territory from Quang Tri and beyond into 18 provinces, including Tuyen Quang province. Thus, in 1831, for the first time in history, Tuyen Quang province appeared in the administrative system of the feudal state of Vietnam.
In 2011, at the Scientific Conference to determine the date of establishment of Tuyen Quang province organized by the Propaganda Department of Tuyen Quang Provincial Party Committee in coordination with the Vietnam Institute of History, it was determined that November 4, 1831 was the date of establishment of Tuyen Quang province. The 17th People's Council of Tuyen Quang province, term 2011-2016, issued a Resolution recognizing the date of establishment of Tuyen Quang province as November 4, 1831.
When the boundaries were divided, Tuyen Quang province had 01 prefecture, 01 district and 05 provinces, including: Yen Binh prefecture, Ham Yen district, Vi Xuyen, Dai Man, Luc Yen, Bao Lac and Thu Vat provinces. The entire land of Tuyen Quang province at that time was the districts of Yen Son, Chiem Hoa, Ham Yen, Na Hang, Lam Binh, Tuyen Quang city; Yen Binh and Luc Yen districts of Yen Bai province; Bao Lac and Bao Lam districts of Cao Bang province and the entire Ha Giang province today.
Over the historical periods, the administrative units of Tuyen Quang province have changed a lot: Doan Hung district separated from Son Tay province to join Tuyen Quang province; Luc Yen district separated from Tuyen Quang province to join Lao Cai province; Vinh Tuy and Vi Xuyen districts separated from Tuyen Quang to form Ha Giang province; Yen Binh district separated from Tuyen Quang to join Yen Bai province; Bao Lac and Bao Lam districts separated from Tuyen Quang to join Cao Bang province.
In 1976, Tuyen Quang and Ha Giang provinces merged into Ha Tuyen province and in 1991 they were separated again, re-establishing two new provinces: Tuyen Quang and Ha Giang. Since then, the administrative boundaries of Tuyen Quang province have not changed compared to today.
