Sa Đéc is a former provincial city in Đồng Tháp province in the Mekong Delta of southern Vietnam, a river port and an agricultural and industrial trading centre. The area of the former city corresponds to Sa Đéc ward and part of Tân Dương commune in Đồng Tháp province, and the city was officially dissolved. In 1976 Sa Đéc province was merged with Kiến Phong province to form Đồng Tháp province, and the Sa Đéc district-level town was the provincial capital until 29 April 1994, when the capital moved to Cao Lãnh. The city had wards 1 to 4, An Hòa and Tân Quy Đông, and the communes Tân Khánh Đông, Tân Phú Đông and Tân Quy Tây, with three industrial zones coded A, C1 and C. The French writer Marguerite Duras lived in Sa Đéc between 1928 and 1932, and her affair there with Huỳnh Thủy Lê, son of a wealthy Chinese family, became the basis of her Prix Goncourt-winning novel The Lover of 1984. His house at 255A Nguyễn Huệ Street has been open to the public since 2007.
