Anecdote about the place Ong Doc River
Ong Doc River originates from the Cai Tau – Trem River junction, flows to the West, passing many villages that have been permanently settled: Xom So, Can Du, Noon Ke, Ong Tu, Tham Troi … and poured into Ong Doc’s door on the Gulf of Thailand side. On the right bank and left bank there are many small rivers and canals: Cai Tau, Rach Gieng, Rach Cui, Rach Rang, Rach Vop …
This river formerly known as Khoa Giang, has witnessed many historical events of the Ca Mau region from the first period of exploitation to the two resistance wars against the French and the Americans.
The name of Ong Doc River comes from the legend, during the time of being chased by Tan Son army, Nguyen Anh and his entourage fled to the South, and went to many places in Ca Mau. One day, she escaped to Cai Tau village (now in Khanh An commune), then planned to follow this river to Hon Tho Chu (outside the Gulf of Thailand) to Siam to ask for help. Unexpectedly, the boat had just left for a while from Rach Cui, the Tay Son army chased.
While hanging his hair, Marine Admiral Nguyen Van Vang was in the entourage, so he asked the king to take off the royal family for him to wear to stay in order to obstruct and distract the enemy. Thanks to that, Nguyen Anh escaped ashore and escaped to Khanh Binh forest. Meanwhile, Admiral Vang was killed by Tay Son troops and drowned in a deep river. The Tay Son army thought that Nguyen Anh had been killed, so he stopped chasing. Because of that, Nguyen Anh immediately changed his route, returned to Ong Tu canal (in Phong Lac commune), then marched across the Cai Ran canal and stationed there to reinforce his forces to find a way to escape. . Today in the Cai Ran area, there is still a relic of a barracks foundation and a historic pond, called King Pond.
Admired by the Admiral Vang ‘s saving sacrifice, the people here call this river the Doc Vang river to commemorate the faithful Admiral of the Marines. Gradually, the name Ong Doc river became familiar to Ca Mau people, sometimes it was called Song Doc for short.
In 1954, Ong Doc river witnessed the historic separation of the people, cadres and soldiers who were children of Ca Mau and the South gathered to the North. After the Geneva Agreement was signed, our country was temporarily divided into two regions. Ong Doc estuary is one of the major gathering points in the South. And in the last trains, comrade Le Duan and comrade Le Duc Tho were seen on the ship to gather.
