From 1000 BC to 200 AD, South Central Coast was dominated by Sa Huynh Culture. Many remains of this ancient civilization were found in Sa Huynh, Quang Ngai Province. Hue used to be the political center of this region. The South Central Coast region in Vietnam is also the historic territory of Champa. All political centers of Cham kingdom were situated in the region. Some of the earlier capitals, as well as the religious center are located in Quang Nam Province. Owing to being defeated by Dai Viet in the past, the political center moved further to the south, particularly in Binh Dinh Province. In 1471, Champa had to evacuate to the southern part – the present-day Phan Rang (in Ninh Thuan Province), but much of Cham people continued to exist as a sort of protectorate within Vietnam for some time.
