It sits on the banks of My Tho River, one of the many Mekong River tributaries near the mouths of the Mekong.
It was under Combodian rule until the 17th century and was settled mainly by Chinese after the Nguyen Lords took control of the area later that century. Thai forces subsequently invaded the area but were forced out in 1784. The French took contol of the region in the midle 19th century. In the mid-1960s, an important American millitary was here. 
Today, Mytho is a prosperous City known for its rice production and fruit orchards. Mytho can easily be seen in a day visit from Hochiminh City.
