History
[edit]In the late 19th century or first decade of the 20th century, during Ottoman rule (1517–1918), Qubaybat was sold by the tribe of Bani Khalid, semi-nomadic Bedouins of central Syria, to the prominent Shishakli family of Hama. The Shishakli family sold it to another prominent Hama family, the Kaylani, in 1905. The inhabitants were Alawite tenant farmers who were settled in the village by its urban landlords to cultivate its lands in the 1920s or early 1930s.[2]
