The dam was built in 1984–1986 with the assistance of the Soviet Union.[3] The power plant became operational in 1988. The dam forms a man-made reservoir lake known as Trị An Lake. La Ngà village on the La Ngà River was created as a result of population displacement.[4]
The dam appears on the 5000 Vietnamese đồng note released in 1993.
