Lebaa, ( Arabic: لبعا) is a village in the Jezzine District of the South Governorate of Lebanon, about 53 km south of Beirut. [1]
In 1838, Eli Smith noted Liba'ah, as a village located in "Aklim et-Tuffah, adjacent to Seida". [2]
In 1875, Victor Guérin travelled in the area, and noted: "I cross a wady; then, climbing to the west of the slopes cultivated by terraces and planted with fig and olive trees, I stop for a few moments in Leba'a, a village divided into two quarters, whose population of 400 souls consists almost exclusively of Maronites. It must occupy the site of an ancient locality. [3]
