Ifni was a Spanish province on the Atlantic coast of Morocco, south of Agadir and across from the Canary Islands.
It had a total area of 1,502 km² (580 sq mi), and a population of 51,517 in 1964. The main industry was fishing.
Spain's presence in the area can be traced to a settlement called Santa Cruz de la Mar Pequeña, founded in 1476. After attacks by the Berbers the Spanish decided to focus on colonizing other areas of North Africa and abandoned the region.
In the mid-19th century the European powers looked again to Africa for resources, Spain suddenly mooted an interest in its lost medieval fortress in order to stake a claim to the southern part of Morocco. This served as a pretext for a short war with Morocco in 1859.
The territory and its main town of Sidi Ifni were ceded to Spain by Morocco on 26 April 1860, but there was little interest in this colonial acquisition until 1934 when the governor-general of Spanish Sahara took up residence.
During Francisco Franco's dictatorship, the colony was made into a Spanish province in order to forestall United Nations criticism of continued colonization.
