Etymology

Image:Masjidsetiaraja.jpg

There are several versions of the origin of the name "Mukah". The word "Mukah" is similar to the Malay word "muka" which means face. It was said that the town was named after the face of a mysterious beautiful woman who helped three shipwreck merchants from Brunei.

Another version was that a beautiful face appeared on the surface on the sea to fishermen. However, these does not explain on why the town adopted a Malay name instead of a Melanau name as the majority of the population here are the Melanau people. The Melanau word for face is "jawai".{{cite news |title=Face-to-face with Mukah coastal town |url=http://www.theborneopost.com/2015/07/03/face-to-face-with-mukah-coastal-town/ |access-date=12 September 2018 |work=The Borneo Post|date=3 July 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180912012218/http://www.theborneopost.com/2015/07/03/face-to-face-with-mukah-coastal-town/ |archive-date=12 September 2018}}

Mukah town has statues of Ikan Merah (Red Snapper) and Udang (Prawn) that reflect the importance of the fishery industry to the town.

History

The Melanau people is the earliest indigenous group living in Mukah. The earliest documentation of Mukah can be found in the annals of the Majapahit empire where a place known as "Melano" was paying tribute to the empire. Although this Mukah describe includes other Melanau areas along the coastline of Sarawak. The place then became part of the Bruneian Empire in the 13th century. Mukah was later sold to the Raj of Sarawak in 1860.

In November 1862, the Rajah Muda rescued several civilians from the Moro Pirates after a pitched naval battle off the coast of Mukah. During the fighting, Brooke's steamer named Rainbow sank four prahus and damaged one other with cannon fire. Over 100 pirates were killed or wounded in the engagement while Brooke, the bishop Francis McDougall and their Sarawakian followers, were mostly unscathed.{{cite book |last1=McDougall |first1= Harriette|title=Sketches of Our Life at Sarawak |date=1882 |publisher=Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge (Project Canterbury) |location=London |page=204 |url=http://anglicanhistory.org/asia/sarawak/sketches1882/16.html |access-date=3 September 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080906101310/http://anglicanhistory.org/asia/sarawak/sketches1882/16.html |archive-date=6 September 2008 |chapter=Chapter XVI.
