The history of Cu Chi Tunnels is closely linked to the resistance war against the French, from 1946 to 1948. The project was carried out by the army and people of Tan Phu Trung and Phuoc Vinh An communes to hide and store weapons and military equipment.

Initially, each village here had its own bunker, however, due to the need for travel, they connected with each other to create a complete system. The Cu Chi Tunnels project now connects 6 communes north of the Cu Chi Tunnels. From this project, the military can easily communicate, hide forces, and discuss revolutionary plans.
