The name Isa refers to Isa ibn Salman Al Khalifah, a former ruler of Bahrain, from 1961 to 1999. Isa Town largely comprises affluent newly constructed villas, and is home to many members of Bahrain's educated middle class. In 2002's election it was one of the few areas of Bahrain not to be entirely represented by an Islamist or right-wing MP, with Abdnabi Salman of the formerly communist Democratic Bloc winning the seat. In 2006's election, ex-Harvard academic Dr Munira Fakhro of Wa'ad lost in controversial circumstances to Sunni Islamist Dr Salah Ali of Al-Menbar Islamic Society.
