Britain as the Aden Protectorate, which was overseen from Aden. Aden's location also made it a useful entrepôt for mail passing between places around the Indian Ocean and Europe. Thus, a ship passing from Suez to Bombay could leave mail for Mombasa at Aden for collection (See Postage stamps and postal history of Aden). The 1947 Aden riots saw more than 80 Jews killed, their property looted and schools burned by a Muslim mob. After the Suez Crisis in 1956, Aden became the main location in the region for the British.

Little Aden 1955 to 1967 Little Aden is still dominated by the oil refinery built for British Petroleum.

Little Aden also has a local township and numerous picturesque fishing villages, including the Lobster Pots of Ghadir.
