The capital city of Cambodia was established in 1434 but abandoned several times before it was reestablished in 1865. What is the name of this capital city?

Phnom Penh was originally founded in 1434 to be the new capital, but it was abandoned several times until it was reestablished in 1865 by King Norodom. In 1975 when the Khmer Rouge came to power, the city was largely deserted as they forced residents out of the city and into the countryside. The city remained mostly abandoned until the Vietnamese invaded in 1979, overthrowing the Khmer Rouge.
