الملخص EN

Safed was one of Acre’s districts belonging to the State of Beirut in the Ottoman era, which gained significance from its important geographical location on the Mediterranean coast, where Safad District had the port on the coast and plains scattered down the mountains, along with springs and wells.

This site attracted many immigrants such as Circassians, Chechens, Bosnians and others who lived several villages of Safed district.

As for the administrative side in the district of Safed during the Ottoman era, the mayor chaired the administrative body followed by a number of officials, as well as administrative councils, both within the district center (town) or in counties and villages.

The study relied on a number of original resources and references like the state of Syria’s Salnamh, the state of Beirut’s Salnamh, contemporary newspapers and other sources and references documented at the end of the study.
