The Ne Mats were used in the royal palace of Nguyen Dynasty. The artists of Cam Ne Village were honored and rewarded by the Kings. This village is located in Hoa Tien Village, Hoa Vang District, According to the old people of this village, mat craft is originated from Hoang Hoa, Thanh Hoa Province. It was handed down to the people in the south in the 15th century when Le Thanh Tong won Chiem Thanh and merged Do Ban into Quang Nam - Danang. From that moment till now, having suffered from the ups and downs, the separation of the war, the competition of the imported nylon mat, Cam Ne Village still exists peacefully.
