History about Miri

The earliest evidence of human population in the area dates back to 35,000 BC from the nearby Niah Caves. Like most cities, Miri has a rich history. What started out as a small settlement of fishing village, Miri is now a modern city, some one hundred years later. At the time of the spudding in of Well No.1, Miri was just a small rural kampong (village).
