As of 2022 its population was 1,272,235 across 263.62 square kilometers, making it the sixth largest city in Vietnam by population and, until 2025, a class-1 provincial city serving as the capital of Dong Nai Province. One of the oldest cities in southern Vietnam, it fell to French forces in 1861 and later developed into a major industrial hub with six industrial zones.
