Hanoi has been inhabited since at least 3000 BC. One of the first known permanent settlements is the Co Loa citadel founded around 200 BC.
Hanoi has had many names throughout history, all of them of Sino-Vietnamese origin. During the Chinese domination of Vietnam, it was known as Tong Binh and later Long Do (literally "dragon's belly"). In 866, it was turned into a citadel and was named Dai La..
Emperor Ly Thai To made Thang Long (today Hanoi) the capital city in the 11th century.
