Lương Sơn (Mươ̒ng: Xa̭ Lương Xơn, Kinh: Xã Lương Sơn) is a commune[3][4] of Phú Thọ province in the Northern Midlands and Mountains region of Vietnam created in 2025.

History

On April 17, 2025, to meet the urgent needs of the Policy to Arrange and Merge Administrative Units by the Government of Vietnam, the Hòa Bình Provincial People's Committee have promoted an extraordinary conference.[5][6] The result of the conference was a Resolution on the dissolution of all rural-district level administrative units in the whole province, followed by another Resolution on the merging of communes and the establishment of new communes with their new names.

According to the political document officially published for the media, Lương Sơn township (Thi̭ chấn Lương Xơn, thị trấn Lương Sơn) was also dissolved. Its entire area and demography have been merged with the same ones of :

  • A part of former Cao Sơn.
  • Four former communes Hòa Sơn, Lâm Sơn, Nhuận Trạch, and Tân Vinh.

This new administrative unit is called as Lương Sơn commune (xa̭ Lương Xơn, xã Lương Sơn), what inherits most of the cultural and historical heritage of the former rural-district level. Lương Sơn commune is directly under the management of new Phú Thọ province.[note 2]
