People here are mostly Catholic, originated from the North of Vietnam or are Cambodian-Vietnamese.
In 1862, the Nguyen dynastic signed Nham Tuat agreement, giving part of the lands in the South to the French including: Bien Hoa, Gia Dinh và Dinh Tuong to French. From then, Catholism has blossomed. Until 1954, 40% of the Catholics from the North moved to the South according to the Geneva agreement which Biên Hòa-Đồng Nai was a destination, contributing to the increase in population. This is a crucial point in history of Dong Nai province.
