After World War II, rural residents began to move into urban areas in search of economic activities. This movement increased after independence. Many of these individuals moved into marginal, underdeveloped communities surrounding the cities - a problem that continues today. The most populated city in Tunisia is Tunis, the capital. It has a population size of 1,056,247 and 2,700,000 in the entire metropolitan area as you can see in the Map of Tunisia with major cities. The Lake of Tunis separates this city from the Mediterranean Sea. This area has been populated since at least the 2nd century BC, and because of its strategic hillside position, it was an important viewpoint for spotting approaching ships. The city was rebuilt under Islamic control; the oldest part of Tunis is the medina, built during this time. In 1159, this city became a provincial capital, and in 1228, it became the capital of the kingdom.
Sfax is the second most populated city in the country. It has a population of 330,440 and is located on the coast approximately 170 miles southeast of Tunis as its shown in the Map of Tunisia with major cities. Sfax was established in 849 AD and was influenced by several invading cultures. During World War II, the city played an important role. It was first a base for Axis powers, then taken over by British forces, and finally returned to France after the war. Because it is a port city, the trade and fishing industries are vital to its economy. In addition, this city produces nuts, olives, olive oil, and phosphate. The third most populated city in Tunisia is Sousse. It has a population of 271,428. This city is located along the Mediterranean about 87 miles south of Tunis. The history of Sousse dates back to at least the 11th century BC when it was first established by the Phoenicians. Under Islamic rule, this city was the principal seaport. The distinct Arab influence has remained throughout the years, and today, Sousse has some of the most well-preserved, sea-facing fortifications built by them. Tourism makes up a substantial part of the economy although the city also produces olive oil.

Tunis (Arabic: تونس Tūnis) is the capital of both the Tunisian Republic and the Tunis Governorate. It is Tunisia largest city, with a population of 728,453 as of 2004; the greater metropolitan area holds some 2,412,500 inhabitants. Situated on a large Mediterranean Sea gulf (the Gulf of Tunis), behind the Lake of Tunis and the port of La Goulette (Halq al Wadi), the city extends along the coastal plain and the hills that surround it as you can see in the Capital of Tunisia map. At the centre of more modern development (from the colonial era and later) lies the old medina. Beyond this district lie the suburbs of Carthage, La Marsa, and Sidi Bou Said.
As the capital city of the country, Tunis is the focus of Tunisian political and administrative life; it is also the centre of the country commercial activity. The expansion of the Tunisian economy in recent decades is reflected in the booming development of the outer city where one can see clearly the social challenges brought about by rapid modernization in Tunisia. Tunisia was briefly the national capital, from the end of the reign of Ibrahim II in 902, until 909 when the Shi'ite Berbers took over Ifriqiya and founded the Fatimid Caliphate as its shown in the Capital of Tunisia map. The governor appointed by Béjaïa, having reestablished order in the country, did not hesitate to free himself from the Hammadids to found the Khourassanid dynasty with Tunis as its capital. This small independent kingdom picked up the threads of trade and commerce with other nations, and brought the region back to peace and prosperity.
In 1159, the Almohad 'Abd al-Mumin took Tunis, overthrew the last Khourassanid leader and installed a new government in the kasbah of Tunis as its mentioned in the Capital of Tunisia map. The Almohad conquest marked the beginning of the dominance of the city in Tunisia. Having previously played a minor role behind Kairouan and Mahdia, Tunis was promoted to the rank of provincial capital. In 1228, Governor Abû Zakariya Yahyâ seized power and, a year later, took the title of Emir and founded the Hafsid dynasty. The city became the capital of a Hafsid kingdom stretching towards Tripoli and Fez. Walls were built to protect the emerging principal town of the kingdom, surrounding the medina, the kasbah and the new suburbs of Tunis. In 1270 the city was taken briefly by Louis IX of France, who was hoping to convert the Hafsid sovereign to Christianity. King Louis easily captured Carthage, but his army soon fell victim to an outbreak of dysentery. Louis himself died before the walls of the capital and the army was forced out. At the same time, driven by the reconquest of Spain, the first Andalusian Muslims and Jews arrived in Tunis and would become of fundamental importance to the economic prosperity of the Hafsid capital and the development of its intellectual life.
