History The Eastern Province was conquered by the Saudis in 1914 from the Ottoman Empire. The inhabited areas had been known as Al-Ahsa (الأحساء) under Ottoman rule, and the entire region was mostly known as Bahrain (البحرين) from pre-islamic times until 1521. Many Saudi history books/articles call the Eastern Province Hasa and Qatif (الأحساء و القطيف) because The most famous ancient cities in it are Qatif and Al-Hasa. Most other cities -- notably Dammam and Khobar -- were built in the 20th century and did not exist before Saudi Arabia's oil production.
