Historically, Al Jahra was an agricultural oasis village and most locals were farmers. Al Jahra's most notable residents included Sheikh Thuwainy Bin Abdullah Al-Saadoun of Al-Muntafiq in 1786, when he fled from Baghdad to Suleiman Pasha. He wanted to occupy Basra and Sheikh Abdullah Al-Sabah hosted him until he returned to Baghdad after he was pardoned by the Iraqi governor.
In 1925, Al-Jahra was under the administrative or governmental jurisdiction of Kuwait City, and the population lived on the cultivation of palm trees and a little wheat and barley. Al Jahra contained 170 houses including the palace of Talib al-Naqib and the palace of the Mubarak Al-Sabah. Nowadays Al Jahra is a modern city and farming has been reduced to various small farms. The geographic midpoint of Kuwait is located in this governorate.
