A Nor Village, located in Hong Kim commune, A Luoi district, about 3 km northeast of the district center, is a small valley situated at the foot of the picturesque A Nor Waterfall. This place has long been chosen by the Kêr Pa Cô clan as their settlement. Formerly known as Pa Non – A Nor, it was later renamed A Nor – Viet Tien and made significant contributions to the resistance against the American forces. Notably, the village also hosted a literacy class for the ethnic minority children with 20 students.
