History

Background

Mystic Point was a jungle land of Papua New Guinea which was stolen and colonized by British aristocrat, Lord Henry Mystic. Mystic had selected the region due to having previously visited it in the late 1870s/early 1880s where he happened upon a monkey which he adopted and named, "Albert". Mystic Point the colony was created in 1889 to serve as the home to Lord Mystic and Albert. In 1908, Lord Mystic began letting outsiders into the colony to show off his collection of artifacts and inventions.

Trivia

• Mystic's claiming of Mystic Point resembles the historic practice of justifying English land-claim to Oceania by declaring it to be non-populated due to the lack of western agriculture, despite populations of humans in the region.
• Walt Disney and Roy Disney are shown in attendance of the opening of Mystic Manor to the public in 1908. This is however anachronistic to real-life history as they would have been children at the time.
• While Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar has Skip mention Trader Sam having travelled to Mystic Point, at Trader Sam's Grog Grotto he instead mentions him travelling to Vulcania from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
