Outside Vietnam it is most famous for the iconic and Pulitzer Prize-winning image The Terror of War, depicting a nude Phan Thi Kim Phuc (who had torn off her burning clothes to survive the attack) and other Vietnamese children fleeing an accidental napalm bombing by Republic of Vietnam airplanes on the village of Trảng Bàng alongside ARVN soldiers.
The town of Trảng Bàng dissolved on the 1st of July, 2026, as a result of the 2025 Vietnamese administrative reforms, which eliminated all district-level units excluding wards and communes. The areas once part of Trảng Bàng now consist of 4 districts: Trảng Bàng, An Tịnh, Gia Lộc — and 2 communes: Hưng Thuận, and Phước Chỉ.
