British Residency of the Arab Gulf

The British Residency of the Arab Gulf was a residency controlled by Britain. It was located around Bandar Bushehr.

History
On 2 July 1763 Bandar Bushehr hosted a residency to the Honorable British East India Company by Persia. From 1769 to 1775 the base fell due to neglect and was practically abandoned. The residency was formally established by Britain in 1822 as subordinate to the governor of Bombay. In 1873 it was reorganized as subordinate to British India. Finally in 1946 it was under Bahrain. It ended two years later in 1948.
