Binh Phuoc has a rich history influenced by various ethnic groups, including the Tay, Muong, and Khmer. The region was part of the ancient Champa Kingdom and later became a significant area during the French colonial period, with rubber plantations established in the early 20th century.

In recent decades, Binh Phuoc has developed economically while preserving its cultural heritage. The region is now known for its agricultural production, particularly rubber and cashew nuts, contributing to Vietnam's economy.
