Phnom Penh

History of Phnom Penh:

Legend has it that the city of Phnom Penh was founded when an old woman named Penh found four buddda images that had come to rest on the banks of the Mekong River. She housed them on a nearby hill, and the town that grew up here came to be as Phnom Penh ( Hill of Penh ).

 The story gives no hint as to why, in the 1430s, Angkor was abandoned and Phnom Penh chosen as the site of the new Cambodia capital. The move has been much lamented as evidence of cultural decline and the fall of an empire, but it made a good deal of prictical sense.
