1. Events
January 1751: Around the middle of the 18th century, the Imam of Muscat took possession of this fort, repaired it, and garrisoned it with 200 men. It is since this time that the new Hormuz has risen. The imam pays a tribute to Persia for this acquisition.
January 1769: The first known Ruler of the Al Ali tribe of Umm Al Quwain, Sheikh Rashid was responsible for the construction of Umm Al Quwain Fort in the town in 1768.
January 1817: Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi was the Ruler of Ajman, one of the Trucial States which today form the United Arab Emirates (UAE), from 1816.
February 1820: The Al Qasimi control of trade in the Persian Gulf area led to conflict with Oman and eventually with Oman's ally, Britain, and to the Al Qasimi being labelled by the British as pirates. This led to the identification of the southern shore of the Persian Gulf as the 'Pirate Coast', although following the General Maritime Treaty of 1820 and the 1853 Perpetual Maritime Peace, the various coastal emirates in the area became known as the Trucial States.
