Kfarhata (also known as Kfar Hata or Kafrhata, ar|كفرحاتا) is a village located in the Koura District in the North Governorate of Lebanon. It is one of the 52 towns of El-Koura, situated at the southern region of this district, at the other side of Al-Kateh (The cutter); a shallow but wide valley, separating a group of 6 towns from the gigantic El-Koura olive plains. In 1953, Kfar Hata had a population of 590 living in 64 households.[1]
The population is Greek Orthodox and Maronite.[2]
Although the mountainous profile of this town, the olive trees cultivation is equally successful and popular, with high quality of olive oil, extracted with the traditional Koranian cold technique.
