The postal history of Kuwait begins with an overland desert camel
service from the head of the Persian Gulf to Aleppo and Constantinople, The first dedicated post office opened
1n 1915,
and used stamps of India. In 1923, India stamp
were issued with "KUWAIT" overprints; this practice continued for many
years.
In 1941 Owing to wartime exigencies, the office used
un-overprinted Indian stamps until 1945, when a new set of Indian stamps
was overprinted. This phase came to an end with Indian independence;
Kuwait was administered by Pakistan in 1947 and 1948, then by the
British government directly from 1 April 1948.
In 1957, the currency was decimalised, 100
naye paise (np) to a rupee, which necessitated a fresh set of
overprints. and the Kuwaitis took over
postal administration on 31 January 1959.
A first set of Kuwaiti stamps of 13 values went on sale 1 February 1959, and included additional
scenes of oil-related activities.Kuwaiti issues came to an abrupt end
with the 1990 invasion by Iraq. Iraqi stamps were used in the country
until early 1991 after the war.
