Historically, Independence Square has been associated with many important events. During the Minh Mang period, this was the land located between Dong Mon. In 1923, the French built a small flower garden with four large arched gates facing four directions. In 1933, when King Bao Dai passed by here, this flower garden was named Bao Dai Flower Garden, then the name Bao Dai Square appeared and was later changed to Independence Square.
