In 1830, Australian convicts heading for Canton, China laid anchor off the coast of Mugi in a convict transport vessel, the brig Cyprus, which they had seized from their masters while being transported to Macquarie Harbour Penal Station in the former British penal colony of Van Diemen's Land, now Tasmania, an incident known as the Cyprus mutiny. The convicts were attacked and sent away by the Japanese, in line with the isolationist policy of the time.[1]
As of June 1, 2019, the town has an estimated population of 3,852 and a density of 68 persons per km². The total area is 56.62 km².

gollark: That's an HTTP header, not HTML.
