Kyawkku (also known as Kyawkku Hsiwan or Kyakku) was a Shan state in the Myelat region of what is today Burma. Its capital was the village of Kyawkku (Myinkyado) which had 344 inhabitants in 1901.

History[edit]

Kyawkku was founded around 1600 CE. It was a tributary of Burma until 1887, when the Shan states submitted to British rule after the fall of the Konbaung dynasty. The state was merged with Poila in 1922.[1]

Rulers[edit]

The title of Kyawkku's rulers was Ngwegunhmu.[2]
