Housing in the town likely had started with the movement of people from the its surrounding caves and the traces over there show that. Then people came to the town from different regions.
The town is too ancient and perhaps existed since two thousands years. There is a lot of spiritual, moral important persons emerged in the town history since long time and headed them Gregorios bin Fadil, he is the first Aleppo bishop of the Melkite Greek Church, and he remained at the Episcopal from 1540 to 1582, with attempts in the Minstrelsy and researches in theology and Book of Proverbs.
