Cao Lãnh is the former capital city of Đồng Tháp Province, Vietnam, located at around 10°28′2″N 105°37′49″E. According to the Vietnamese Wikipedia article, it was the seat of the former Kiến Phong province from 1956 to 1975 under the Republic of Vietnam. After Đồng Tháp province was formed in 1976 the old town of Sa Đéc was the provincial seat until 1994, and under Decree 36-CP of 29 April 1994 the seat moved back to Cao Lãnh town, where it has stayed since. In 2007 Cao Lãnh officially became a city directly under Đồng Tháp province. Under the independent Nguyễn dynasty the area belonged to Phong Thạnh canton and part of Phong Phú canton in Kiến Đăng district of Định Tường province, and in 1838 a new prefecture, Kiến Tường, was created with Kiến Phong district inside it. The village of Mỹ Trà, that is Cao Lãnh, was the seat of both Kiến Phong district and Kiến Tường prefecture.
