AJMAN




SHEIKHDOM OF AJMAN

In 1820, the Sheikhdom of Ajman, ruled by the Al Abu Khurayban clan of the an-Na'im
tribe and till then a dependency of the al-Qawasim state of Ras al-Khaimah, was
declared independent by the British. 
It was a signatory of the treaties of 1820, 1835, 1843 and 1853 and became a British
protectorate - subject to the residency of the Persian Gulf - in 1892.
