(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Abu Dhabi was the largest of the Trucial States. The area was originally settled by the Bani Yas in the late 18th century, along with Dubai, but in the 19th century the Dubai and Abu Dhabi branches parted ways.
In 1939, Sheikh Shakbut granted oil concessions, and oil was first found in 1958.
