Vĩnh Long is a former city and the capital of Vĩnh Long Province in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. The Vietnamese Wikipedia article places it on the bank of the Cổ Chiên River, a branch of the Tiền River, 135 kilometres south of Ho Chi Minh City and 33 kilometres north of Cần Thơ. It was bordered by Long Hồ district to the east, south and north, by Châu Thành district of Đồng Tháp province to the west and by Cái Bè district of Tiền Giang province to the northwest across the Tiền River and the Mỹ Thuận Bridge. Before its dissolution it had 10 ward-level units, the wards 1, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 9, Tân Hòa, Tân Hội, Tân Ngãi and Trường An. It was one of seven provincial cities with no communes, together with Bắc Ninh, Dĩ An, Đông Hà, Sóc Trăng, Thủ Dầu Một and Từ Sơn. In 1757 the site of the city was the village of Long Hồ.
