Nam Dinh is one of the lands with the longest history in our country. It also preserves many traditional cultural values of the wet rice civilization with typical cuisine, craft villages, festivals, communal houses, pagodas, and churches. In particular, here, in the Nguyen Dynasty, a flagpole (flagpole) was built. This is one of the four oldest flagpoles in our country. Nam Dinh flagpole was built from Gia Long 11 (1812) to Quy Mao (1843) year. This is an important work of Nam Dinh Ancient Citadel, located in the south of the inner city, in front of Kinh Thien Palace (Vong Cung Pagoda). During the two times the French colonialists occupied Thanh Nam in 1873 and 1883, the flagpole was the place where the fierce battles of Thanh Nam's army and people took place; Many children of the homeland have heroically sacrificed to protect this land. In 1945, the Nam Dinh Flagpole was the place where the red flag was planted with a yellow star, confirming the victory of the August Revolution in Nam Dinh's homeland. During the anti-American era, Nam Dinh Flagpole was the observation and combat station of the militia and self-defense force of Nam Dinh Textile Complex. At 12:45 on June 11, 1972, during the bombardment and bombardment of the city, the US Air Force dropped bombs to knock down the entire flagpole architecture. In 1997, on the occasion of the 43rd anniversary of the Liberation Day of Nam Dinh city (1954-1997), the Nam Dinh flagpole was restored at its old location in its original state.
