Gulf of Tadjoura
From 1862 until 1894, the land to the north of the Gulf of Tadjoura was called "Obock". Under French administration, from 1883 to 1967 the area was known as French Somaliland (French: "Côte française des Somalis"), and from 1967 to 1977 as the French Territory of the Afars and the Issas (French: "Territoire français des Afars et des Issas").
