Dalat was founded around 1920 by French physician, Alexander Yersin,
who felt cool climate would make an ideal therapeutic retreat for his
European patients who suffered from the debilitating effects of the
tropical climate. The area was originally inhabited only by highland
ethnic minorities, called Montagnards by the French. Lowlander
Vietnamese, however, did not enjoy living year-round in the highlands.
They considered the “climate” to be unhealthy because of uncharted
jungle, savage tribes, and dangerous wild animals.
