Muyuka had suffered from the German and British colonial masters especially during the period of slavery and slave trade.

Politically, Muyuka used to be a stronghold of the chief opposition party, the Social Democratic Front (SDF) since 1990 but it later fell into the hands of the ruling CPDM during the past few years.

Although the indigenes are the Balongs, there is a significant population of the Bangwas from Lebialem Division who have migrated to Muyuka, engaged in agriculture and politics.

Muyuka can boast of supplying a significant quantify of foodstuff and tertiary crops like cocoa and coffee into the local market.
