History

Its name ''Nghĩa Đô'' (義都) means "the suburbs of the capital city" in Hanese.

Middle Ages

According the time when Emperor Gia Long had just re-united the country (1802), the area of modern Nghĩa Đô Ward belonged to the sub-urban zone behind the southwest gate of Đông Kinh Citadel, but its large walls have been eroded for a long time. That was originally the territory of two communes Đoài Môn & Nghĩa Đô of Sơn Tây Garrison and Bái Ân Ward of Đông Kinh the capital city. In which, Nghĩa Đô Commune (Nghĩa Đô xã) consisted of four hamlets : Tiên Thượng (Kẻ Tân Village), Trung Nha (Kẻ Nghè V.), Vạn Long (Kẻ Dâu V.), and An Phú. All of them located in Dịch Vọng Canton, Từ Liêm Rural District, Quốc Oai Prefecture, Sơn Tây Garrison, Bắc Thành Region of the Imperial Annam. However, during the first administrative reform of Emperor Minh Mệnh in 1831, Từ Liêm District was transferred to Hoài Đức Prefecture of Hà Nội Province.

XX century

In 1904, the Government of French Tonkin decided to transfer Hoài Đức Prefecture to Hà Đông Province. However, by December 1942, Hoài Đức was re-merged into Hà Nội Special Town.

After the Government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam was officially established in January 6, 1946, Nghĩa Đô was divided into two new communes Nghĩa Đô Thượng (Tân & Nghè) and Nghĩa Đô Hạ (Dâu & An Phú). They all belonged to Đại La Zone of the sub-urban Hanoi.

During the First Indochina War, the Government of Bắc Việt under the State of Vietnam has re-established Nghĩa Đô Commune as a part of Quảng Bá District, Hoàn Long Town. On the other side, the resistance people, although not realistic, still decided to merge Nghĩa Đô and Đoài Môn to Nghĩa Môn Commune (xã Nghĩa Môn), belonging to District IV (quận 4) of the sub-urban Hanoi. Some time later, Dist. IV was renamed as Trấn Tây Rural District (huyện Trấn Tây).

After the Geneva Agreement (1954), the Government of North Vietnam merged two communes Yên Thái (including former Bái Ân Ward) and Nghĩa Môn to become Thái Đô Commune (xã Thái Đô), belonging to District V (quận 5). However, They were separated again in 1961 : Yên Thái Village belonged to Ba Đình Urban District, and Nghĩa Đô Commune under Từ Liêm Rural District.

In October 31, 1982, Nghĩa Đô Township (thị trấn Nghĩa Đô) was established to serve as the capital of Từ Liêm Rural District. This new administrative unit included old Nghĩa Đô Commune and the VOV Collective Quarter. By 1992, the collective quarter has been separated to become Nghĩa Tân Township (thị trấn Nghĩa Tân). In November 22, 1996, when Cầu Giấy Urban District (quận Cầu Giấy) was established, both Nghĩa Đô and Nghĩa Tân became its ward-level administrative units.

21st century

In April 19, 2025, to realize the project to arrange and merge administrative units by the Government of Vietnam, the Hà Nội City People's Committee quickly approved a Resolution on the plan of re-arranging commune+ward-level administrative units in the whole city.

According to the political document published for the press in the same day, Cầu Giấy District was officially dissolved. Its entire area and population have been divided into three new wards Cầu Giấy 1 ( Cầu Giấy), Cầu Giấy 2 (Nghĩa Đô), and Cầu Giấy 3 (Yên Hòa). Therefore, new Nghĩa Đô Ward (phường Nghĩa Đô) has been established based on the merging of :
*The small parts of three former wards Cổ Nhuế 1 & Xuân Tảo from Bắc Từ Liêm District and Xuân La from Tây Hồ District.
*The big parts of six former wards from Cầu Giấy District what includes Dịch Vọng, Dịch Vọng Hậu, Mai Dịch, Nghĩa Đô, Nghĩa Tân, and Quan Hoa.
Overall, the new administrative unit basically has the meaning of preserving the cultural and historical values of before Nghĩa Đô Commune, where is said to have appeared since the 16th century as a combination of migrant groups from Thanh Hoa Garrison and some indigenous people from Hạ Yên Quyết Village.All of Nghĩa Đô Commune
