Notes
The Ottomans took control of the Gaza region after their army fought a violent battle with the Mamluk army near Gaza City in Dhul-Qi'dah 922 AH / December 1516 AD. Gaza formed a large district within the Arab Province, which was created by Sultan Selim I. The administrative image of the brigade became clear during the reign of his successor, Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. The Gaza District is sometimes mentioned with the Holy Quds District in some Ottoman sources that dealt with the administrative aspect of the Arab Province. The Gaza District consisted of two major areas: the Gaza District and the Ramla District. The focus of this study was on the Gaza District only. This study relied on two main sources: the Editorial Book (T.D. 427) and the Editorial Book (T.D. 131), which contain the first survey of lands conducted by the Ottoman Empire. The brigade immediately after its departure from Mamluk control. The two sources explained that the Gaza district enjoyed a distinguished location, a high human density represented by the large number of settled villages, and an economic prosperity based on agriculture and trade, which the Ottoman Empire, with its administrative and security measures, tried to preserve by appointing a governor for the district and a number of administration and security men in it, and by implementing the timar system, which included all parts of the district.
