In the area of Quỳnh Lưu rural district about 1956, an international shocking political event occurred, which was often called the Quỳnh Lưu uprising (Khởi nghĩa Quỳnh Lưu) by South Vietnamese historians.
At least two Catholic villages have been armed to protest the brutal land reform policy of the Central Government of North Vietnam. This action has bloated the fire of anger across the North and caused the Democratic Republic of Vietnam leaders to seriously divide.
In order to extinguish the effect of the oil spot, the government of Hồ Chí Minh personally mobilized two elite divisions to his homeland "to punish the rebellious" (dẹp tan bè-lũ phản-động). Although the evolution of the event was lighter by communist communication organizations, the information about it still followed the fugents to go around the world.
The Ngô Đình Diệm government has made this opportunity to organize an international press conference in Saigon to denounce the crimes of the North regime. During the next two years, the people of South Vietnam continued to organize marches and exhibitions to express their communion with the fate of their compatriots in the North of the 17th parallel. From then until 1975 when the Republic of Vietnam collapsed, the catastrophic event in Quỳnh Lưu was included in the history textbook.
As of 2019, 1 April, Quỳnh Lưu rural district district had a population of 276,259. However, from 2003 to present, the whole district has continuously reduced the population because the situation of young people pulled together to the cities to seek employment opportunities, and the quality of agriculture of the locality is not high, while the industry has very little potential.
It covers an area of 609 km2, that is, it is equivalent to Singapore Island. Its capital lies at Cầu Giát town ("the bridge of Giát").
Besides the central town, Quỳnh Lưu has all 32 communes : An Hòa, Ngọc Sơn, Quỳnh Bá, Quỳnh Bảng, Quỳnh Châu, Quỳnh Diễn, Quỳnh Đôi, Quỳnh Giang, Quỳnh Hậu, Quỳnh Hoa, Quỳnh Hồng, Quỳnh Hưng, Quỳnh Lâm, Quỳnh Long, Quỳnh Lương, Quỳnh Minh, Quỳnh Mỹ, Quỳnh Nghĩa, Quỳnh Ngọc, Quỳnh Tam, Quỳnh Tân, Quỳnh Thạch, Quỳnh Thanh, Quỳnh Thắng, Quỳnh Thọ, Quỳnh Thuận, Quỳnh Văn, Quỳnh Yên, Sơn Hải, Tân Sơn, Tân Thắng, Tiến Thủy.
