To meet the criteria of the plan for arrangement and merger of administrative units, according to the Decision of the Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee,[2] which was issued in February 2025, from June 12 of the same year, Đức Cơ Rural District was officially dissolved.[3]
Geography
As of 2003 the district had a population of 49,745. The majority of the native Jarai people, followed by the Kinh people.[4] In the early 2000s, even the number of Kinh people continuously decreased due to the wrong economic policies of the local government, causing young people to leave elsewhere.
The district covers an area of 717 km², that is, it is equivalent to Singapore Island. The district capital lies at Chư Ty.[4]
Culture
Đức Cơ is located in the position of the strongest flowing water of the Se San basin, so it has been renovated into the most important hydroelectric lake of the Indochina junction. This project has quickly became a tourist landscape what was not to be missed.
This district was planned to be the center of the Development Triangle Project until Cambodia announced a retreat in 2024.
