The Sheikhdom of al-ʽIrqa ( Arabic: مشيخة آل عرقة, romanized: Mashyakhat al-ʽIrqa [2]) was a city-state [3] which was part of the Protectorate of South Arabia, and existed from the 19th century to 1951.
The Sheikhdom was established in the 19th century. [4]
Starting in 1888, the Shaikh of Irqa received a stipend from the British Empire. [5] A Protectorate Treaty was concluded with him in that year on 27 April, [6] and was ratified on 26 February 1890. [5]
Shaikh Awadh bin Muhammad ba Das died in January 1901. He was succeeded by Shaikh Ahmed bin Awadh bin Muhammad ba Das. A new Protectorate Treaty was concluded with the latter in January 1902, when his stipend was increased from 80 to 180 dollars. [5]
Shaikh Ahmed bin Awadh ba Das died on 21 October 1935. His grandson, Ahmad ibn `Abd Allah ibn `Abd Allah ibn `Awad Ba Das, was elected as his successor the following day. [7]
In c. 1951, Irqa was incorporated into Wahidi Balhaf. [2]
The rulers of al-`Irqa bore the title Shaykh al-`Irqa. [2]
In 1946, the Sheikhdom of al-`Irqa had a population of 500. [8]
A report in 1946 described al-`Irqa as a "small fishing village". [9]
The 'Abdali Sultanate of Lahej and the Qu'aiti Sultanate of Mukalla are sufficiently organized to be described as states, while other territories, such as the Sheikhdom of 'Irqa, consist of a single town.
