Mean Chey (Central Khmer: មានជ័យ, in Central Khmer pronounced as /miəncəj/, lit. "Victorious") is an administrative district (khan) located in the south-eastern part of Phnom Penh, Cambodia. As of 2019, due to boundary changes, its population decreased from 2008 but is the second most populous district of Phnom Penh.[1]
According to the 1998 census, Mean Chey consisted of eight Sangkats with a total population of 157,112;[2] the population recorded by the 2008 census was 266,865.[3]
In 2010 Khan Mean Chey was expanded by incorporating four communes from Kien Svay District, Kandal Province: Kbal Kaoh, Preaek Aeng, Preaek Thmei and Veal Sbov.[4] In 2013, the latter four Sangkats, along with Chbar Ampov Ti Muoy, Chbar Ampov Ti Pir, Nirouth and Preaek Pra formed a new entity, Khan Chbar Ampov,[5] [6] taking Mean Chey's number of Sangkats to four. In 2016, Stueng Mean Chey was split in three separate Sangkats and Boeng Tumpun was split in two parts.[5]
As of 2020, Mean Chey is subdivided into seven Sangkats (communes) and 59 Phums (villages).[5]
