It borders the southern periphery of the Lebanese capital Beirut and is considered part of its metropolitan area. Originally a village it was founded by the Jamous (lit: Buffalo) family. There is also a Jamous St in Beirut, named after the same family.

Heavy Neolithic material of the Qaraoun culture was found of an atypical variety with large, rough flakes including picks, choppers and cores. Some examples showed evidence of burin impacts and twisted forms. The area is now built up.[1]
