Ngan Dừa is a township (Thị trấn) and town and capital of Hồng Dân District, Bạc Liêu Province, in south-western Vietnam.
The town was founded before 1940, then burned down in the battle for independence from the French colonial forces. People left until 1955 when a new village was built. Ngan Dừa was the heart of the community and became the center of distribution and business for the others villages.
After re-establishing Ngan Dừa, schools were built and opened for students from elementary to middle school. High school students were admitted in September 1964.
