Kfarsghab ( known also as Kfar Sghab, Kafarsghab or Kfarseghab; Arabic: كفرصغاب, pronounced [kafarsˤiɣaːb] ⓘ) is a village located in the Zgharta District in the North Governorate of Lebanon.

It is a typical organization of pastoral and agricultural Mediterranean communities where transhumance, which is a seasonal movement of livestock between fixed summer and winter pastures, is still practised.

However, like most villages in the Qadisha valley, Kfarsghab's known history began with the settlement of the Maronites in Mount Lebanon during the 10th century.

Until the middle of the 18th century Kfarsghab was a village of modest importance, with a total population not exceeding 150 inhabitants.

The first mention of Kfarsghab in the writings of the Maronite Historians concerns events that happened in 1283 at the end of the Crusaders period.

At the beginning of the 17th century, the region of Kfarsghab witnessed an important migration to the more prosperous Southern Mount Lebanon under the stable rule of Emir Fakhreddine.

The political void in the Kfarsghab region opened the way to bloody conflicts between local notables, accentuating the migration of a weary population.

[10] Under the energetic rule of this family, Kfarsghab witnessed an important prosperity and demographic development driven by silkworm rearing and land acquisition.

Between 1850 and 1875, demographic pressure obliged the young men of Kfarsghab to join massively the monastic orders.

[13] But the economic difficulties of the silk industry, the political situation of the new Mutassarifiah regime of Mount Lebanon (1865–1915) and changing conditions of the monk orders pushed the people of Kfarsghab to find new economic outlets by emigrating massively from 1885 [14] onwards to the United States and Australia.

In the recent years, the seasonal migration for Ehden / Zgharta is losing its importance with the necessities created by the development of the service sector in the coastal pole of Zgharta/Tripoli, increasing number of salaried employees and the growing financial difficulties of the households to maintain two dwellings.

[19] Morh Kfarsghab, the winter village, is located on the north-western slope of the Joueit valley separating Miziara from Bnachii.

[20] A written document mentioning Morh Kfarsghab is dated to October / November 1748 AD (Thu'l-Qa'dah 1161 Hijri).

[23] Total yearly precipitation is in the range of 48 inches (1,200 mm), with the heaviest occurring during the fall and spring.

Snowfall, which normally occurs from late November to early April, ranges from 1 to 10 inches (3 to 25 cm) per month.

[31] Services in Kfarsghab are not developed at all:[28] a small snack / restaurant, an internet-cafe, few shops, few local taxis and individual truck owners.

Since the 1990s, the construction sector developed rapidly thanks to emigrants and residents building, extending or renovating their real estate properties.

Some saw there the influence of the Syriac language and many scholars studied the subject without a definite conclusion as to the origin of this evolution.

From sociological point of view, a major difference in accent between neighboring settlements denotes usually either geographical isolation, or an unconscious collective will of identity conservation.
