History

In 1875, Victor Guérin noted about the village: "Kennarit, a village inhabited by Metualis and which succeeded an ancient locality, as evidenced by a reservoir dug into the rock, several sepulchral caves and ancient quarries."[2]

Guérin, 1880, p. 516: "A deux heures quinze minutes, je redescends vers le sud-sud- est, et, suivant bientôt vers l'ouest l'Oued Kennarit, j'en gravis la berge septentrionale, à deux heures quarante-cinq minutes. A trois heures, je parviens à Kennarit, village habité par des Métualis et qui a succédé à une localité antique, comme le prouvent un réservoir creusé dans le roc, plusieurs grottes sépulcrales et d'anciennes carrières."
