Laghouat
The wilaya of Laghouat (Arabic: ولاية الأغواط) has the capital city of the same name. Located in the heart of the country 400 miles south of the capital Algiers, the province covers an area of 25,000 km ². Pastoral region of Algeria, it also has the largest natural gas field in Africa with an estimated several billion cubic meters reserves.
The original settlement of the area consisted of Gétules (Berber from the south). The arrival of the Arabs in 653 (Gregorian calendar) caused the Islamization of the local community then composed in its majority of Berber tribes belonging to Maghraoui group (branch tératiennes). The spatial unit of Laghouat (in urban areas) is likely realized under the rule of El Hadj Aissa Marabout late 1725 Laghouat, around which revolved many Ksours, was a walled town before the French colonialism. Under the command of Colonel Marey Monge, the French colonial troops invaded the region in 1852, Rock carvings and mounds attest homes of prehistoric life that had spread to almost all of the Wilaya. However the date was founded the city of Laghouat is still unclear. We only know that it was an extreme point of the old and the Gaetulia Maghraoua, Berber tribe, fleeing tyranny and abuse, found refuge.
In the fifth century AH (eleventh century), portions of the tribe of Banu Hilal finally took up residence there and kept the name of Laghouat (plural Ghaout). Some important dates in the history of Laghouat:
