History
During the early 15th century, An Khe was a Cham/highlander city bore the name Samriddhipuri (City of Virtue, Richness).
The Battle of Mang Yang Pass, the last major battle of the First Indochinese War, started near An KhĂȘ: on June 24, 1954, French colonial Groupe Mobile 100 received orders to abandon its defensive position at An KhĂȘ and to fall back to the safer Pleiku, some 50 miles away over Route Coloniale 19. At the road marker 'Kilometer 15' the column was ambushed by Viá»t Minh troops belonging to the 803rd Regiment and suffered heavy losses.
In August 1965 the U.S. 1st Cavalry Division established their main base, Camp Radcliff, near An KhĂȘ. In September of that year, the Battle of An Ninh took place about 30 km east of the town. Camp Radcliff remained in use by various U.S. Army units until late 1970 after which it was turned over to the ARVN.
