History
The Cham principality of Panduranga had its center in Ninh Thuận Province, but also included much of what is now Bình Thuận Province. Panduranga became the political centre of Champa after the fall of Vijaya in 1471. It remained independent until 1832, when emperor Minh Mang annexed it. Ninh Thuận was merged into Bình Thuận Province in 1976, together with Binh Tuy Province, Ninh Thuận became a separate province again in 1991.

“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“What would we not give for some great poem to read now, which would be in harmony with the scenery,—for if men read aright, methinks they would never read anything but poems. No history nor philosophy can supply their place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
