Haytla (Arabic: هيتلا) is a town in Akkar Governorate, Lebanon.

The population is mostly Greek Orthodox and Alawite.[2]

History

[edit]

In 1838, Eli Smith noted the village as Heitela, located east of esh-Sheikh Mohammed. The inhabitants were Alawites and Greek Orthodox.[3]

In 1856 it was also named Heitela on the map of Northern Palestine/Lebanon that Heinrich Kiepert published that year.[4]
