From independence in 1951 to 1983 Al Hayshah was part of the Misrata Governorate. From 1987 to 1995 it was part of the Sawfajjin baladiyah. From 1995 to 2001 it is unclear which district administered Al Hayshah. It was part of the revised Sirte District from 2001 to 2007, but was incorporated into the enlarged Misrata District in 2007.

gollark: This is actually interesting. The music being played seems to be missing a chunk of the frequency spectrum for some reason.
gollark: It would need good amplifiers, I suppose, but it's possible. I'll have to survey all our listeners to determine how many actual listening people each thing corresponds to (factoring in time spent with it running but away from the computer, and such).
gollark: JS doesn't support **C** properly, so no.
