Hóc Môn, Rural district in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Located in the northwest of Ho Chi Minh City, Hoc Mon district spans 109 square kilometers and contains the town of Hoc Mon plus eleven communes.
Between 1698 and 1731, settlers from northern and central Vietnam moved to this undeveloped land to establish six initial villages that expanded to eighteen.
The Giong T-road junction holds historical weight as the location where French forces executed numerous anticolonial prisoners on August 28, 1941.
Local markets, including the Hoc Mon Vegetable Wholesale Market, supply fresh produce and goods at lower prices than central Ho Chi Minh City.
The name originates from the district's early landscape, referring to a corner filled with taro plants in the swampy settlement areas.
