Ba Dinh Square is also known by two other names: Hong Bang Square and Independence Square. After the national resistance war, the French recaptured it and named it Hong Bang Square. Regarding the takeover of the capital, the Hanoi Administrative Committee proposed to take the old name of Independence Square, but Uncle Ho "uncle" left. The speaker kept the same name as Ba Dinh Square.
The name of Ba Dinh Square was given by Dr. Tran Van Lai. He held the position of City Mayor from July 20 to August 19, 1945. The reason why Mayor Tran Van Lai named it Ba Dinh Square is because he admires the insurgent Dinh Cong Trang who fought against the French very bravely at Ba Dinh base, Nga Son district, Thanh Hoa in the late 19th century. .
