Miabi is also the name of a town within the territory. Kazadi Diofua, who had been imprisoned for 10 years by the local colonial power for rebelling and demanding the autonomy of his people, founded the town in 1933 after his release from prison. Diofua was the last King of the Bakwa Dishi and uncle of the present heir to the throne André-Philippe Futa. Miabi, considered the capital of the land of the Bakwa Dishi, is Futa's place of birth.
