The Tân Sơn Nhứt village was mostly occupied to build the Tan Son Nhut Air Base then Tan Son Nhat International Airport in the French Indochina period, first 1900s. After the occupation, the Tân Sơn Nhứt village remain area was so small, it was merged into the adjacent village Chí Hòa to be Tân Sơn Hòa.
