According to the locals, the name Lang Co originates from a historical story. In the past, Lang Co was a fishing village where white storks flew back to roost every evening. During the French invasion, they gave the village a Vietnamese name “Lang Co” which was not marked on the map. Later, with the distinct Huế accent, “Lang Co” was renamed to its current name. From this story, Lang Co is also known as “the beauty of the fishing village.”
