The Arabic name of Tripoltanos is Tarablus or Atrablis or Tarabols and it got that name after the Arabs conquer it 22 Hijri (621 AC). Some historians gave Tripoli the name "The White City" because its buildings were painted white. In July 1535 it was invaded by the Spanyards.
In August 1551 the Turks defeated the Spanyards and started the Ottoman rule of the region.The turks named Tripoli "Tarablus al Gharb" or "Tripoli-West" since they already had another Tripoli in Lebanon.
In 1911 the Italians invaded Libya and started their era in which Libya lost more than half its population.
After Libya's independence in December 24, 1951 Tripoli started a new era. Tripoli is a very beautiful city and it got another name "Arous Albahr Almotawasit" or "The Jewel of the Mediterranean".
