Huong Canh was originally the name of a commune of An Lang district, Son Tay town in the Later Le dynasty, then was taken as the general name of the Nguyen dynasty and the name of today's town - Huong Canh town (in Binh Xuyen district, Vinh Phuc province). According to folklore, Huong Canh is also called Tam Canh because this is the common name of three Canh villages including: Huong Canh, Ngoc Canh, Tien Canh. The place name Huong Canh also has the ancient name Ke Canh. This name comes from the local rice variety, which has two pointed rays on both sides of the grain. People call those two sharp rays WINGS and the grain of rice is called WINGS, taking the word WING as the name of the village. Initially, there was only one Huong Canh village here. Gradually, the population grew and the village was separated and named Ngoc Canh - a place with Gie Canh rice, rice grains as beautiful as pearls.

Regarding the construction date, when Thuong Luong's back house was dismantled for restoration, the engravings were still clearly clear: "Canh Hung thirty-seven years, five years Binh Than, twelve moons, twenty-two days, zodiac time, Receiving a high salary, great benefits and prosperity" (Meaning: Canh Hung year 37, year Binh Than, December, day 22, zodiac hour, building a roof tree is very auspicious, brings much prosperity).
