Thuong village consists of three units: Thuong hamlet, Bai hamlet, Thu Cuu hamlet (often called Cuu village) forming a village-level administrative unit. People in the area often call this village the Thuong - Cuu - Bai area.
The entire Thuong village is located in the north and northeast of Co Loa citadel, bordering the surrounding communes and villages:
- To the north is the outer citadel, outside is Uy No commune.
- To the east is the outer citadel, outside is Viet Hung commune.
- The west and south border Huong hamlet (Co Loa commune).
- To the southeast borders Vang hamlet (Co Loa commune).
Thuong village is located in the center, Thu Cuu village is to the east, Bai hamlet is to the northwest. Thuong village is the largest of the three units. Therefore, Thuong village is taken as the common name for the whole village, which is three separate units. The largest family in the hamlet is the Do family, with three different branches. Thuong village used to be friends with Van Xa, Dan Di (Uy No), Mit hamlet and Nhoi hamlet.
Thu Cuu village is considered the oldest of the "eight communes". Legend has it that the village was named Thu Cuu (Kuu) because in the past this land was the kitchen of King An Duong Vuong. Some people believe that the reason it was named Thu Cuu was because in the past this was the library of King An Duong Vuong.
In the past, Thu Cuu was small and had a small population, but it was a commune under Co Loa commune, so it had its own complete administrative management system, such as village chief, deputy village chief... The village had 3 hamlets: Ngo Tren hamlet, Ngo Giua hamlet and Ngo Duoi hamlet, which were divided into 3 groups: Giap Nhat, Giap Nhi and Giap Tam. The power of each group depended on the amount of land that group had in hand. Now the village is divided into two self-governing teams. Currently, Cuu hamlet is still the smallest village in the hamlet, with about 40 households.
The largest family in Cuu village is the Nguyen family, traditionally from Thach That district - Ha Tay. The family consists of two branches, so in the past, people in the village did not marry each other, boys and girls had to get married in other villages. However, according to the "Hau Than Bi Ky" stele established in the year Ky Hoi, Vinh Thinh 15th year (1719), at this time Thu Cuu was already a commune. Perhaps after a few decades, in the early 18th century, under the impact of the peasant uprising movement, the village was scattered so that only a few people remained and the state established Thu Cuu commune as an independent village belonging to Luong Quan commune. After 1954, Thu Cuu belonged to Thuong village, Co Loa commune.
Although Cuu village is now administratively under the management of Thuong village, the festival on January 6th every year is still held separately according to the old custom.
Bai Hamlet used to be a wild land, with canarium trees growing everywhere, and tigers and leopards living there. Later, two elders from Vang Hamlet and one elder from Chua Hamlet (both with the last name Nguyen) brought their families here to reclaim the land and establish the hamlet. Bai Hamlet is also called Ngo Bai. In the 60s, the whole hamlet had only about a dozen households, but now it has increased to 50-60 households, with more than 200 people. At first, Bai Hamlet did not organize its own festivals, but families from each village came to attend when that village had a festival. Now all cultural activities are shared with Thuong Hamlet.
The main families in the village: Dao, Nguyen, Do, Le, Chu..., in which the majority are Nguyen.
Thuong - Cuu - Bai village is completely isolated from the remaining villages/hamlets of Co Loa commune. The majority of the population is purely agricultural. A part of the population gathers along the road from Co Loa to To, so they have an additional job of selling groceries.
