The missionaries Carl Wilhelm Isenberg and Johann Ludwig Krapf paused for several days at Mulu, during their 1839 journey from the coast to Shewa, and described it as "nothing but a vast plain covered with stones, with a little verdure in patches, a few acacias, and hovels made of boughs here and there".[1]
Based on figures from the Central Statistical Agency in 2005, Mulu has an estimated total population of 30,812, of whom 17,991 are men and 12,821 are women.[2] The 1994 census did not provide separate figures for this town.
