The village is mainly home to the Dagher family, although new construction around the area have lead to numerous other families calling the village home. The village felt the rant of the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990) which directed half the population to migrate to Australia, Canada and other areas of Lebanon (Although strong ties between the Dagher family in Australia and Canada to the small village remain).
