Founded in the 12th century by the Maan emirs, Baakline served as their capital until the early 17th century when its most famous Emir Fakhreddin II, moved to Deir el Qamar.The town’s name, which is traced back to the Syriac tongue, bears several meanings, among them “house of the smart people,” “the place with many turnings,” and “the thorn’s location in the mountains.” Other researchers argue that the name derives from the tribe of Bani Ijel of the Ma’an emirs. The name Ba’aqline was found in an ancient script mentioning that the brother of Salah Al-Dine Al-Ayoubi died there in 1209.
