Kfaraya (Arabic: كفريا) is a municipality in the Sidon District of the South Governorate in Lebanon.

History

In 1875, Victor Guérin travelled in the area, and noted: "About 1,800 metres north of Kefr Djerra rises, on a neighbouring hill, another village, also of little importance and inhabited by Maronites and by "united Greeks". It is called Kefr Aya. Between these two villages flows a spring which feeds them with water, and which is called A'in Kefr Aya, or A'in ei-Hajar, because it comes out of the bosom of the rocks.[1]

Demographics

In 2014, Christians made up 99.11% of registered voters in Kfaraya. 82.33% of the voters were Greek Catholics.[2]
