The Sultanate of Zanzibar, also known as the Zanzibar Sultanate, refers to the territories over which the Sultan of Zanzibar was the sovereign. Those territories varied over time. At one point they included all of what is now Kenya as well as the Zanzibar Archipelago of the Swahili Coast. Later they included only a ten mile wide coastal strip of Kenya and Zanzibar. Under an agreement concluded on 8 October 1963 the Sultan relinquished sovereignty over his remaining territory in Kenya. On 12 January 1964 Sultan Jamshid bin Abdullah was deposed and lost sovereignty over the last of his domininons, Zanzibar.
