Boukhalfa

Boukhalfa (Arabic: بوخالفة and Kabyle: Buxalfa) is a village in the commune of Tizi Ouzou, Algeria, located in the northwest of the city.

Attached to the commune of Tizi Ouzou, this hamlet of Boukhalfa is located in the valley of the Sebaou, below the djebel Sidi Belloua.

These settlers succeeded in draining the swamps of Boukhalfa to cultivate the land and practice the viticulture there.

The hamlet of Boukhalfa in March 1889 included a fort and a garrison, and where the French colonists from all the environs of Tizi Ouzou found there a safe shelter in case of danger coming from Mount Sidi Belloua.

In 1901, still attached to the commune of Tizi Ouzou, the village of Boukhalfa was administered by Mr. Hygonnet, deputy municipal councilor.
