Geography
Bình Dương Province is situated on relatively level terrain, and is crossed by the Saigon, Đồng Nai, and Be rivers.
Economy The area is considered to be good cropland, and agriculture is an important industry in the province.

Administration Politically, Bình Dương is divided into six districts: Ben Cat, Dau Tieng, Di An, Phu Giao, Tan Uyen, and Thuan An. The provincial capital, Thủ Dầu Một, is a separate municipality.
Demographics Originally, the area now known as Bình Dương was heavily forested, and was dominated by peoples of the Xtiêng, Cho Ro, Mnong, and Khmer Krom ethnic groups. In the 17th century, however, ethnic Vietnamese settlers arrived in the region from the east. Most were peasants, seeking to escape poverty by gaining land of their own. There were also a number of refugees from a war between two feudal houses. In 1698, there were enough people in the area that a prominent Vietnamese general was sent to establish official institutions and enforce law. From that point, Bình Dương developed rapidly, with extensive clearance of forests to make room for crops. The province is now dominated by ethnic Vietnamese.
