Tuy Phong is a rural district of Bình Thuận province in the Southeast region of Vietnam.

[2] In the early 17th century, due to the prolonged Trinh-Nguyen war, people from the Dang Ngoai provinces moved to the coastal land north of Binh Thuan to settle down.

However, the place name Tuy Phong may have only officially existed since the 13th year of Minh Mang (1827) when Ninh Thuan province was established, including the two districts of Yen Phuoc and Tuy Phong (separated from Ham Thuan prefecture).

During the reign of King Dong Khanh the 4th (1886), Dao Ninh Thuan was changed to Khanh Hoa province, but Tuy Phong district still belonged to Binh Thuan (According to Dai Nam Nhat Thong Chi).

On December 16, 2011 , Phan Ri Cua town was recognized as a type IV urban area.
