They jointly contain about two hundred and fifty inhabitants, of various trifles, mostly fishermen, and are subject to Sharjah. A slightly earlier survey, under Captain Robert Taylor, has the village ‘under Sheikh Ali Mohamed of the tribe Matarish’.

The settlement and port of Abu Hail were bombarded on 18 January 1820 by British forces during the Persian Gulf campaign of 1819,following the fall of Ras Al Khaimah. The action resulted in the General Maritime Treaty of 1820, which led to the recognition of the coastal emirates as the Trucial States and, eventually, to the formation of the United Arab Emirates in December 1971. By the turn of the 20th century, Abu Hail was effectively abandoned and only occupied, by people from both Al Khan and Dubai, during the date harvest.
