Đắk Tô is a village in the Central Highlands of Vietnam and in the so-called "tri-border" area where the borders of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia all come together.
Geography
Located just north of the Vietnamese town of Tan Canh (nicknamed "Tin Can" by the American GIs), Dak To is populated by a Montagnard tribal people known as the Degar. Dak To is in a lush region of forest covered mountains and deep valleys, with cool and refreshing streams in abundance.
History
During the Vietnam War it was viewed as a strategic area because of its proximity to a major branch of the Ho Chi Minh trail, which Hanoi maintained through the neighboring country of Laos. It was the site of the Battle of Dak To.
Industry
It is part of the Kon Tum province industrial area.[4]
