Historically, Haiphong was the first place in Vietnam and [[Mainland Southeast Asia]] to get [[electricity]]. In the imperial era of [[Đại Việt]], the [[Bạch Đằng River]] in Haiphong was a place of many legendary victories, led by now-legendary commanders [[Ngô Quyền]] and [[Trần Hưng Đạo]]. In the 16th century, [[Mạc dynasty]] promoted the coastal settlement as a secondary capital, growing to become an important port town of [[Đàng Ngoài]]. After the [[French conquest of Vietnam]], in 1888, the president of the [[French Third Republic]], [[Marie François Sadi Carnot|Sadi Carnot]], promulgated a decree to establish Haiphong as one of the principal cities of [[French Indochina]]. From 1954 to 1975, Haiphong served as the most important maritime city of [[North Vietnam]]. It was one of the directly controlled municipalities of a reunified Vietnam with [[Hanoi]] and [[Ho Chi Minh City]] in 1976. In the 21st century, Haiphong is under active [[land reclamation]], the most recent effort being the construction of [[South Đình Vũ dike]] in 2022. Haiphong is a popular seaside vacation spot and known for biological reserves in [[Cát Bà Island]]. For its extensive port, the city hosts the headquarters of the [[Vietnam People's Navy]]. [[Royal poinciana]] are commonly associated with Haiphong in Vietnamese culture.
