بشير الثاني الشهابي
Laqlouq was founded in the 18th century by Arabs who are known today as "′Arab al-Laqlouq". Their presence dates back to the era of Emir Bashir Shihab II, who granted the village residents their lands and who vacationed there in the summer months. The original residents are generally poorer than the newer arrivals who immigrated to the village from nearby areas.
