Sông Bé province
Sông Bé was a province in southern Vietnam, which bordered
Tây Ninh
to the west.
Sông Bé was formed in 1976 in merge of three previous provinces,
Bình Phước
.
The separation revealed the regional inequality within the former province: While Bình Dương is one of the most industrialised provinces in southern Vietnam, Bình Phước is one of the least industrialised - in the late 1990s even less industrialised than the provinces of the Central Highlands. However, the gap between the two provinces has diminished gradually since separation in relatively terms.[1]
