Historical note
The name is of semitic origin and it derives from the Syriac which means "the village of deers". The history of Kfardebiane goes back to an ancient period which remains mysterious until now through shortage of archeological and historical origins. Kferdebiane became in the modern age the center of Al -Jird state during the Moutassarifiya period (1860-1914). In 1900 the first municipality was established and was considered the first one in Kessrwane.
In Wadi Al-Salib we find houses, mills and oil-works that are evidence of the village prosperity and fame.
The village of today consists of 3600 houses and 15 churches and convents built between the 16 th century and the 20 th, two schools and 6 clubs among which we find a dispensary (opened from 9 till 15 o'clock p.m, tel: 09/710163), 2 drugstores, a post office and a police station.
