Mit village is a small village located in the South of Co Loa citadel between the Central and Outer citadels, bordering the following villages:
- West: adjacent to Cho village.
- East: adjacent to Mach Trang village.
- North: adjacent to Trung citadel.
- South: adjacent to Hoang Giang river.
Mit village was originally called Cu Ne, and was previously called Dam Sen. The name Mit is a popular Nom name that is interpreted by the people as meaning the word "dột" (solid jackfruit). Legend has it that this place used to be the royal garden of King Thuc, where many lotuses were grown. In the past, when the land was divided into plots, Mit village was called the village on the other side of the lake.
Initially, Mit hamlet was not part of the 9 ancient hamlets of Co Loa commune. In 1704, Mit hamlet, Vang hamlet and Bai hamlet were merged into Co Loa. In the past, the hamlet was divided into two factions: Ngo Tren faction and Ngo Duoi faction.
The scope of the two factions is symbolically divided along the village. Men from eighteen years old and above can join the faction after purchasing the faction. When a faction member has a job, he must invite the faction to his house to eat a feast (called "going to work on the faction"). The faction members must carry the coffin of a deceased member of their faction if a family member of the faction has a funeral. This phenomenon is encapsulated in the phrase: "The faction carries the coffin of the deceased in their faction". The members are responsible for helping each other as well as preparing offerings for the festival. The organization of the faction's meals is divided into ranks including the first table, the second table, the third table depending on age. To have money in addition to the money from selling the faction, the faction also organizes the sale of fields (although the faction does not have much land). The faction is not only limited to the village but also has a commune faction (called the ceremony faction) consisting of many members from many different villages. The leader of the faction is the faction leader elected by the faction members. The faction is equivalent to the hamlet organization in the village.
In addition, the residents of Mit village are also organized in the form of hamlets and alleys. The village organization consists of only those with a high position in the commune who can participate. They have the right to decide on major tasks such as repairing shops, digging wells, etc. The commune will elect a Chief of Staff, also known as Truong Tuan, each of whom has four assistants. The rice collected by Truong Tuan is called "thoc suong" and is used for the common tasks of the village.
The Alley organization is a gathering of people living together in the same area. Mit village has three alleys: Upper Alley, Lower Alley and Middle Alley. The alley has fields originating from the posthumous (death anniversary) of a person who has no children or children who live far away. They want to send fields to the alley so that every year the alley can hold the death anniversary for them. An alley in Mit village has two sao of public fields, every year on the death anniversary, they take money from the fields to make sticky rice to offer at the temple and the whole village comes to eat.
In the village, there are several families such as: Le, Nguyen, Tran. In which, the Le family is from Thuong hamlet, the Nguyen family is originally from Thanh Hoa. The Nguyen family was originally Pham family, then changed to Tran family and then changed to Nguyen family.
