History
The reign of Al Bu Kharaiban Nuaimi in Ajman began in 1816, when Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi and his 50 followers took over the coast of Ajman from members of the Al Bu Shamis Nuaimi tribe in a short war. It was not until 1816 or 1817, however, that the fort of Ajman finally fell to the followers of Rashid and his kingdom was authorized by the powerful Sheikh of Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah, Sheikh Sultan bin Saqr Al Qasimi. On 8 January 1820, following the break-up of Ras Al Khaimah by the British army led by Sir WG Keir, Sultan bin Saqr signed the General Maritime Agreement with the United Kingdom on 4 February 1820, followed by March 15 by Rashid bin Humaid at Falaya Fort.
A British naval study of 1822 found that Ajman had one of the most beautiful lakes on the coast and was a small town with a single solid structure, the emperor’s house. Like many other coastal towns in what became known as the Truckial Coast, people were seasonal – there were about 1,400 to 1,700 ‘Mahamee’ men living there during the pearl hunt (April-September), many of whom would have moved to Al Buraimi during the day. A study notes that Ajman’s ruler Rashid bin Ahmed considered his empire independent of the Emirate of Sharjah, but Sharjah did not retain that view even though it had no power over Ajman. The study noted that the inhabitants of Ajman were ‘strong Wahhabis’ and recorded the presence of the ruined city of Fasht on the coast from the city of Ajman, today located in the suburbs of Fisht town in Sharjah.
In 1831, the Sheikh of Ajman received support from the Imam of Muscat to join Sultan bin Saqr of Sharjah against the Sohar, but following the defeat of the Sultan announced by Sohar. During his absence, part of the Bani Yas from Abu Dhabi destroyed the city of Ajman and its environs. In retaliation, Ajman’s troops ‘downgrade’ the cities of Sohar and Muscat. When called upon to provide for the correction of the actions of his ‘subject’, Sultan bin Saqr delegated authority to any authority over Ajman and in 1832 the British navy was sent to Ajman to deal with attacks on East Coast cities. [7] To end the conflict between Sharjah, Ajman and Da Dubai on the one hand and Abu Dhabi on the other, Ajman (and other parties) signed the Maritime Treaty of 1835 alone.
In 1840, Humaid bin Obeid bin Subt of Al Heera attacked Ajman with the support of the Bani Naeem body. Although at first he was reluctant to help Humeid bin Rashid, Sultan bin Suggur of Sharjah sent his son Suggur himself, along with Maktoum of Dubai, who pulled out the invaders and chased Al Heera. In 1843 another Maritime Treaty was signed between the Truckial Sheikhs and the English and, on May 4, 1853, the ‘A Perpetual Treaty of Peace’ was entered into by the coastal Sheikhs, including Ajman. A copy of this agreement is on display at the Ajman Museum. Another treaty of 1892 bound Trrucial states for Britain. In the 20th century, the exploration of J. On December 2, 1971, Ajman, under Sheikh Rashid bin Humayd Al Nuaimi, joined the United Arab Emirates.
