History
The history of Binh ?inh province is closely linked to that of the historic Kingdom of Champa, a state based around the Cham people who now form the Binh
Dinh's largest minority. Champa occupied most of central Vietnam, and frequently fought wars with the Vietnamese to the north. Gradually, however, the Vietnamese pushed the Cham southwards. In 980, the Cham were forced to abandon their capital, My Son, and relocate to the city of Vijaya in Binh
Dinh. Vijaya (known to the Vietnamese as Do Ban) remained the capital of Champa for the remainder of the
kingdom's existence. In 1470, it was overrun by the Vietnamese. With Binh
Dinh under Vietnamese control, Vietnamese settlers gradually moved southwards, eventually displacing the Cham as the dominant ethnic group of the area. Today, ethnic Vietnamese make up over 95% of Binh ?ịnh's population.
