As of December 31, 2008, there were a total of 9111 communes in Vietnam including townships and wards. Each commune may consist of a number of towns and villages but often urban districts are divided into residential neighborhoods or wards which differ from rural communes. Nghe An Province has the highest number of communes in any province of Vietnam with a total of 437 communes.
Historical role
During the second republic of the Republic of Vietnam, a communal school district chief would be appointed for each commune. They collaborate with other leaders including the police chiefs, treasurers of the communes, administrative officials, and civil service officials, and form "communal councils" .[1] The council has a number of responsibilities, including monitoring health and education in the commune.
