Quỳnh Lâm

Quỳnh Lâm lies in the Quỳnh Lưu country of northern Nghệ An, where lowlands extend towards the coast. Local tradition associates the area with Hồ Hưng Dật, remembered as an early ancestor of the Hồ lineage in Diễn Châu. Nearby, the village of Quỳnh Đôi began as Thổ Đôi, founded in 1378 by members of the Hồ, Nguyễn and Hoàng families; it received the name Quỳnh Đôi in 1528.
