Kfar Reman or Kfarreman (Arabic: كفررمان) is a municipality in the Nabatieh Governorate region of southern Lebanon; located north east of Nabatieh.
History
[edit | edit source]Ottoman era
[edit | edit source]In the 1596 tax records, named Kfar Rumana, it was a village in the Ottoman nahiya (subdistrict) of Sagif under the liwa' (district) of Safad, with a population of 83 households and 1 bachelor, all Muslim. The villagers taxes on goats and bee hives, occasional revenues, a press for olive oil or grape syrup, in addition to a fixed sum; a total of 4,094 akçe.[1][2]
In 1875, Victor Guérin found the village to have 180 Metuali inhabitants. The village had a mosque constructed with ancient materials.[3]
Historically, it has been the hometown of some members of the El Zein family, such as Ismail El Zein, Youssef El Zein, Sheikh Muhammad Rida El Zein and their descendants.
Modern era
[edit | edit source]On 2 November 1991 units of the South Lebanon Army (SLA) toured the villages with loudspeakers ordering villagers including a Lebanese Army unit to leave immediately in the name of the Israeli Army (IDF). In the context of eight days of continuous shelling of the Nabatieh area by the SLA and IDF many of the villagers fled, only returning after American intervention.[4]
Demographics
[edit | edit source]In 2014 Muslims made up 99.20% of registered voters in Kfar Reman. 97.04% of the voters were Shiite Muslims.[5]
