Initially, the town covered a small area of ​​over 280 hectares with a population of more than 5,000 people. After 27 years of establishment, Thanh Chuong town was further adjusted and expanded to a total area of ​​6.54 square kilometers by merging additional parts of Thanh Ngoc and Dong Van communes, according to Government Resolution No. 96/NQ-CP dated October 11, 2011.

Looking back at the early days 40 years ago, the development today reflects the significant efforts of the Party Committee, Government, and People of Thanh Chuong town.

The economy has diversified, with industry, handicrafts, construction, services, and commerce now accounting for 96% of the economy, and agriculture only 4%.

There are nearly 1,000 business households and 70 small and medium enterprises operating in the area, with an average per capita income of 95 million VND in 2023.

Infrastructure has been consistently invested in, from urban transportation to schools, medical stations, cultural houses, and cultural-sports facilities for residential areas.

The cultural, social, security, and defense sectors have received attention from the Party Committee, Authority, and each resident, contributing to improved cultural and spiritual life and ensuring a safe environment for the town's people.

The Party Committee, Authority, and People of the town have united and worked together to achieve the nine criteria of a civilized urban area.

In 2024, Thanh Chuong town was recognized as a civilized urban area by the Thanh Chuong district People's Committee and was awarded the Government's Outstanding Emulation Flag in 2023.
