In 1963, Bao Trai was renamed Khiem Cuong (Khiêm Cường) and became the capital of the newly formed Hậu Nghĩa Province.[2] However, in February 1976, Hậu Nghĩa Province was dissolved and Đức Hòa District was annexed by Long An Province, Khiêm Cường lost its provincial capital status and became the present-day township of Hậu Nghĩa.
