Mongpu State


Mongpu or Möngpu was a small state of the Shan States in what is today Burma.

History

Mongpu was a small dependency of Kengtung State that had been a tract of land claimed by Mongnai State but annexed by Kengtung along with Monghsat further to the south. The capital and residence of the ruler was Mong Pu town.
Little is known about this state except that its forests, which included valuable teak, had been overexploited at the turn of the 20th century during British Rule in Burma.
Loi San mountain is located about to the southeast of the town, overlooking the Möng Pu valley.
