The event of the village separation so far no one remembers the exact date, but based on documents and Han Nom texts in Dinh, we can guess that Ngoc Toan village was split into two villages of Lu Cam and Ngoc Hoi in around the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.

During the two resistance wars against the French colonialists and the American imperialists, Ngoc Hoi communal house was the place to supply food and food for the army units supporting the Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa Front; It is a place where revolutionary forces meet and operate secretly.

Ngoc Hoi communal house is the gathering place of the local people who went to protest on August 19, 1945 to take the revolutionary power back to the people.

In order to strengthen the Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa Front's resistance (October 23, 1945 - February 2, 1946), many Nam Tien armies returned to Khanh Hoa to directly participate in combat like the army: Le Trung Dinh , North and North… Units from Quang Ngai to supply Nha Trang Front were stationed at the Coconut Garden near the communal house. Ngoc Hoi Communal House is the place where local people cook rice and supplies for the army units supporting the Nha Trang Front.

By the end of January 1946, due to the disparity in forces, our troops had to withdraw along the left bank of the Cai River to the railway tunnel No. 1 near Cau Sat - Ngoc Hoi. After that, the Nha Trang Front was broken, so our troops had to withdraw to Dien Khanh area. When our forces withdrew, Kim Son pagoda was occupied by the French colonialists and set up a fort. During a search of the pagoda, they found that there were many documents and papers related to the revolution, so they burned them all, including 09 ordinations from Ngoc Hoi communal house sent at the temple.

During the anti-American period, during the Tet Offensive (1968), Comrade Tran Dinh Giam and a comrade Le Van Luc (this comrade died around 1969-1970) set up a guard post at Ngoc communal house. The Association is ready to support the revolutionary forces under the command of the Command led by comrades Le Tung and Vu Hong Quan.
