Unreferenced date January 2007 Chemor in Arabic pronounced Ach Chmorr is an ancient well known family. Being from the Yamanis, the Chemors left Akoura in the 17th century after the victory of the Qaysi party headed by Hachem known as Hachem Al Ajami over the Yamani party headed by Malik Bin Abi Al Ghaith. And based on the History of Estephan El Douaihy , some members of this family left to Jeita in Keserwan where Cheikh Sleiman Chemor was known to be a great landlord as it appeared from the papers found at Cheikh Saleh Rcheid El Khazen s. Other family members left to the Tripoli suburbs, so they inhabited Aradat and Kfarhata and they ruled then this territory.
