The provinces of Lebanon Mountain lived under the Ottoman era (1516 – 1918) under the dominance of two feudal families (i.e.

Al-Ma'niyya& Al-Shihabiya) before the Ottoman State started off performance of administrative reformation on these territories.

The feudalism rule was the activated one in these areas, before inventing the organization of two Kazas.

The organization of Sanjak is the feudalism rule which is based on existence of a great feudal prince to be responsible for a group of feudal princes, representatives and tribes leaders who are directly control these feudalities partitioned by the great prince in exchange for annual amounts gained and sent to the treasury.

Such a rule adopted then is known as (The Tribe Princedom); as one of the Ottoman administration systems applied on the Arab Provinces.

Among these Lebanese feudal families was the Junblat family who controlled several Lebanese provinces and gained financial accumulation and social nobility.

Accordingly, all these achievements made that family accede a great position in the Lebanese emirate, especially at the era of Al-Shihabiya Princedom (1697 – 1842).

The golden age of that family was during the leadership of Sheikh Basheer Qasim Junblat (1775 – 1825) in which it acceded a unique position so that no one can absolutely compete it except Al-Shihabiya Princedom itself
