Jerusalem Sanjak
The Sanjak of Jerusalem (Ottoman Turkish: سنجاق قدس, romanized: Sancâk-ı Kudüs; Arabic: سنجق القدس, romanized: Sanjaq al-Quds) was an Ottoman sanjak that formed part of the Damascus Eyalet for much of its existence. It was created in the 16th century by the Ottoman Empire following the 1516–1517 Ottoman–Mamluk War. It was detached from the Syrian eyalet and placed directly under the Sublime Porte, the Ottoman central government, first for a brief period in 1841, and again in 1854.
During Ottoman period, the population around Jerusalem was organized into distinct village clusters (nahiyas) based on an apparent tribal basis, each with their own village-cluster sheikhs: Bani Murra, Bani Salim, Bani Hasan, Bani Zeid (see: Western and Eastern Bani Zeid municipalities), Bani Harith (see Kharbatha Bani Harith), Bani Malik (headed by Abu Ghosh) and more.
An independent province, the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem, was created in 1872. It ceased to exist in 1917 during World War I as a result of British progress on the Middle Eastern front, when it became a British-administered occupied territory and later part of Mandatory Palestine as established by the League of Nations.
