History
It was founded around a tungsten mine and processing plant, which still stands but is no longer in operation. Town status was granted in 1955.[2] In July 2000, the town was devastated by a massive flood and mudslide. [8]Apartment blocks were buried in mud up to the fourth floor. No reliable figures exist for the number of casualties. The town has largely recovered as of 2004, but scars are still clearly visible.
