Al-Mubarraz has historical importance because it was the rule center for the district between 1669 and 1793, before the Saudi rule . There are some sayings about its origin and it said that its origin back to the second half of the seventh century in Hijri.
== Naming == There are a number of hypotheses about the meaning of the city's name. In Gulf Arabic it stands for "outstanding," "masterly," In Nejdi Arabic the name stands for a place travellers gathered before leaving, so that's way it called Al-mubarraz because the people get to it before their trips. The sheikh Muhammad Alabdulaqader write that the people of Al-Ahsa gather there first before leaving for Al-hajj. so it's agreed between almost all Al-mubarraz people. This last, however, seems like a folk etymology and folklore than reality.
