History

Prey Veng, town, southern Cambodia. Prey Veng is linked to Phnom Penh, the national capital, by a national highway. The former (prior to 1975) rubber plantations of Phumi Peam Cheang near the town have the ruins of a Khmer temple. At nearby Neak Loeung is a ferry across the Mekong River.

The surrounding region consists mostly of the flat to gently rolling Mekong River floodplains. Rice, corn (maize), and cotton are the chief crops. Pop. (2019) 36,254.
