History
Twenty years ago, shortly after Portgas D. Ace was born, Garp moved him here for Dadan's care.

17 years ago, Luffy was born in this island.

10 years ago, when the story started, Shanks and his Pirate Crew stopped by here where Luffy meets them. After a while, Garp came back and took Luffy to Dadan.

7 years after that, Ace departed from the island. Luffy did the same thing 3 years later.

Wildlife
Cows can be found at the outskirts of the village. However, Corvo Mountain is a home to dangerous gigantic animals such as tigers, alligators, bears, snakes, and vultures. Luffy, Ace and Sabo often hunted this dangerous creatures to train themselves and for food. Throught they could normally overtake them, the animals will sometimes make them serious injuries (like when Luffy was attacked by a bear after Sabo's death).

Trivia

 * Even if it was not revealed until chapter 584, Goa Kingdom was the first kingdom to appear in the series as Fuusha Village is part of the kingdom.
 * Logue Town was the beginning of Roger's journey, while Dawn Island is the start of Luffy's. The significant relationship between them is "logue" references "prologue" (the beginning of a story) and "epilogue" (the end of the story), while "dawn" traditionally marks the end of the previous day and the start of the new day, in other words both are names referencing the start and end of something.
