Cẩm Phả is a former provincial city of the former Quảng Ninh Province, in the Red River Delta region of northern Vietnam. It was promoted from a rural district to a city in February 2012 and covers an area of 486 square kilometres. The French took administrative control in 1884, and in 1886 a French company received the right to exploit coal in the Hòn Gai, Cẩm Phả and Mông Dương regions. Workers drove the French out on 27 September 1945 during the August Revolution, and the last French soldier left from Cửa Ông on 22 April 1955. Cẩm Phả is an important coal exporting port of modern Vietnam, and was the site of one of the biggest coal mines in the south of Asia, worked for almost a century.
