Hon Quan district is known for the victory of troops of Division 7 in 1972 over the enemy at Tau O post. The 150-day and-night battle greatly contributed to the liberation of the South and national reunification. More than 1,000 troops of the division died in the battle. In 2012, a monument was built at the location in commemoration of the fallen soldiers and is now recognized as a national historical relic site.
