FES HISTORY AND DEPTH, the end of the seventh century, fleeing the hegemony of the Abbasids in Baghdad, Idriss I, descendant of the prophet, took refuge among the Berbers of central Morocco. Supported by many Amazigh tribes who proclaim King of Morocco, he founded in 789 AD his capital on the right bank of the Oued Fes. At his death, his son, Idriss II, completing work on the left bank of the Oued and decided in 809 to establish the seat of the dynasty.
The first legend says that the name of Fez which means pickaxe would have been given by Sultan Moulay Driss following a pickaxe blow in the depths of the earth, and has brought forth from the bowels of the city, pure and clear water. This water still snaking alleys, through the alleys of houses, riads and palaces and powers most of the city's fountains. A second version, reports that digging the foundations of the city, they found a large "Fez", weighing sixty pounds, and that's where the name came from Fez. Anyway this city became the first Islamic city in the country as its founder wanted. A few years later, the city welcomes hundreds of political refugees from Andalusia, Cordoba precisely according to historians. They founded the Andalusian quarter in 818. This population has been reinforced by the arrival of the Jews. Seven years later, 300 families of artisans and traders evicted from Kairouan (modern Tunisia) settled west of the city, in the neighborhood of kairaouanais said.
