Phnom Penh is the largest city of Cambodia
and the 290th largest city of the World.

Phnom Penh has been the national capital
since French colonization of Cambodia.

Located on the banks
of the Tonle Sap and Mekong River,

It has grown to become the nation's center
of economic and industrial activities,
as well as the center of security, politics,
cultural heritage, and diplomacy of Cambodia.

Phnom Penh (literally, "penh's Hill")
takes its name from the present Wat Phnom ("Hill Temple").

Legend has it that in 1372, a wealthy widow named
Lady Penh found a Koki tree floating down the Tonle Sap river
after a storm.

First recorded a century after it is said to have taken place,
the legend of the founding of Phnom Penh tells of a local woman,
Penh (commonly referred to as Daun Penh
(Grandmother Penh/Old Lady Penh) in Khmer),
living at the chaktomuk, the future Phnom Penh.
