history

From 1919 to 1976 the area of ​​today's federal state of an-Nil al-abyad belonged to the province of an-Nil al-azraq , which, in addition to today's state of an-Nil al-azraq, also included the areas of today's states of al-Jazira and Sannar . In 1976 the province of an-Nil al-azraq was split into three provinces and the province of an-Nil al-abyad was created on the territory of the present state. From 1991 to 1994 the area of ​​an-Nil al-abyad belonged again to the newly created state of al-Wusta, which resembled the province of an-Nil al-azraq from 1919 to 1974. On February 14, 1994, an-Nil al-abyad was split off again, but this time as a federal state.
