Chhmuoh Thmei

Chhmuoh Thmei lies in the eastern Mekong delta on the Vàm Cỏ Tây, the western branch of the Vàm Cỏ River. Vietnamese settlers entered this watery region in the late seventeenth century, joining older communities along its banks. In 1705 the Bảo Định canal linked the river near Tân An with the Tiền River at Mỹ Tho, creating a passage between two important waterways across the low plain.

The later city of Tân An lies here.
