Sabah bin Jaber
Sabah bin Jaber (Sabah I) was the first ruler of Kuwait's royal al-Sabah dynasty. The official Kuwaiti history states that he was unanimously chosen for the position of sheikh.
There seems to be some dispute about the beginning of bin Jaber's reign, with many historians believing this to have occurred in 1752, or within a few years of that date. Upon his death, in 1776, Sabah I was succeeded by his youngest son, Abdullah bin Sabah.
