History

In 1875, Victor Guérin travelled in the area, and noted: "I cross a wady; then, climbing to the west of the slopes cultivated by terraces and planted with fig and olive trees, I stop for a few moments in Leba'a, a village divided into two quarters, whose population of 400 souls consists almost exclusively of Maronites. It must occupy the site of an ancient locality.
