| The place name Phong Le appeared during the Ho Dynasty in 1404 in Da Ly region (almost covering the entire area of Hoa Vang district today). In the first year of Thieu Tri (1841), the name Da Ly was changed to Phong Le, which can be considered "a pioneer village in reclaiming and expanding land to the South". |
 |
| By the 8th year of Thanh Thai (1896), Phong Le village became two small villages: Phong Le Bac (Phong Bac) and Phong Le Nam (Phong Nam). The name Phong Nam village (now Phong Nam hamlet) was officially formed. |

| Right on the main road into the village is the temple of the ancestors of the clans who had the merit of establishing and building Phong Le village. This is one of the long-standing cultural and religious works of Dang Trong region. |
    |
| Today, on the annual death anniversary of the ancestors, representatives of all ethnic groups gather at Phong Le Ancestral Temple to pay homage and pay tribute to their ancestors. The Ancestral Temple is the place of worship for nearly 30 clans, of which 17 clans are honored as ancestors and descendants. |
