Hóc Môn is a suburban district of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

At that time, this area was still undeveloped land, with wild animals including tigers roaming free.

However, in Khmer language "Hóc Môn" is spelled (by Annamese pronunciation) of "ហុកម៉ូន" (Hok-maun).

The Giồng T-road junction (ngã ba Giồng) at Hóc Môn is a road intersection where many anticolonial prisoners were executed by French firing squads, including Phan Đăng Lưu, Hà Huy Tập, Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai, Võ Văn Tần and Nguyễn Văn Cừ on 28 August 1941.
