Tripoli was founded in the 7th century BC by the Phoenicians, who gave it the Libyco-Berber name Oyat, before passing into the hands of the Greek rulers of Cyrenaica as Oea. Due to the city's long history, there are many sites of archeological significance in Tripoli. Tripoli may also refer to the sha'biyah (top-level administrative division in the Libyan system), the Tripoli District.
