Saigon : ウィキペディア英語版
Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City ((ベトナム語:Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh); ), formerly named and still also referred to as Saigon ((ベトナム語:Sài Gòn); , (フランス語:Saïgon)), is the largest city in Vietnam. It was once known as Prey Nokor, an important Khmer sea port prior to annexation by the Vietnamese in the 17th century. Under the name Saigon, it was the capital of the French colony of Cochinchina and later of the independent republic of South Vietnam 1955–75. On 2 July 1976, Saigon merged with the surrounding Gia Định Province and was officially renamed Ho Chi Minh City after Hồ Chí Minh (although the name ' is still unofficially widely used).
The metropolitan area, which consists of the Ho Chi Minh City metropolitan area, Thủ Dầu Một, Dĩ An, Biên Hòa and surrounding towns, is populated by more than 9 million people,〔(Đồng Nai Province's Populations: 2.254.676 (2006) ), (Bà Rịa Vũng Tàu Province's Populations:862.081 (2002) ), (Bình Dương province's Population: 1,2 million (2007) ), (Ho Chi Minh City's population: 5,037,155 (1999) )〕 making it the most populous metropolitan area〔(About Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). ) MyVietnam.info. Retrieved 13 August 2009.〕 in Vietnam. The city's population is expected to grow to 13.9 million in 2025.
The Ho Chi Minh City Metropolitan Area, a metropolitan area covering most parts of the Southeast region plus Tiền Giang Province and Long An Province under planning, will have an area of with a population of 20 million inhabitants by 2020.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Quy hoạch xây dựng vùng Tp.HCM )〕 According to the Mercer Human Resource Consulting, Economist Intelligence Unit and ECA International, Ho Chi Minh City is ranked 132 on the list of world's most expensive cities for expatriate employees.
==Etymology==
(詳細はNguyễn Hữu Cảnh, a Vietnamese noble, was sent by the Nguyễn rulers of Huế to establish Vietnamese administrative structures in the Mekong Delta and its surroundings. Control of the city and the area passed to the Vietnamese, who gave the city the official name of ' (). This name remained until the time of French conquest in the 1860s, when the occupying force adopted the name ''Saigon'' for the city, a westernized form of the traditional name, although the city was still indicated as on Vietnamese maps written in Chữ Hán until at least 1891. Immediately after the communist takeover of South Vietnam in 1975, a provisional government renamed the city after Hồ Chí Minh, the late North Vietnamese leader.〔
The text of the resolution is as follows:
"By the National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, 6th tenure, 1st session, for officially renaming Saigon-Gia Dinh City as Ho Chi Minh City.
The National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam
Considering the boundless love of the people of Saigon-Gia Dinh City for President Ho Chi Minh and their wish for the city to be named after him;
Considering the long and difficult revolutionary struggle launched in Saigon-Gia Dinh City, with several glorious feats, deserves the honor of being named after President Ho Chi Minh;
After discussing the suggestion of the Presidium of the National Assembly's meeting;
Decides to rename Saigon-Gia Dinh City as Ho Chi Minh City."(【引用サイトリンク】title=From Saigon to Ho Chi Minh City )〕 Even today, however, the informal name of ''Sài Gòn'' / ''Saigon'' remains in daily speech both domestically and internationally, especially among the Vietnamese diaspora. In particular, ''Sài Gòn'' is still commonly used to refer to District 1.
