Kulhudhuffushi () is the capital of Haa Dhaalu Atoll administrative division on Thiladhunmathi Atoll in the north of the Maldives. Kulhudhuffushi City is known as the "Heart of the North.". This city is famous for its mangroves (Mashi Kulhi), after which the island itself is named.
==History== In the years 1812, 1819, and 1921, the island was affected by heavy rains and storms, causing substantial damage. The island was also affected during the Keylakunu storm which reduced the population of the island by half. Since then, the island has been famous for unity and hard workers around the Maldives. The ancient people of the island of Kulhudhuffushi were famous for their courage and bravery during the wars fought against the enemies of the nation. Apart from that, the people of Kulhudhuffushi City led the Thiladhunmathi Atoll in an act of rebellion against the Malé government during the 1940s because of the unjust governance for the people of the north at the time.
