Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate
Ghazir remained a major political and economic center in Mount Lebanon until the end of the 19th century. In 1905, Muzaffar Pasha, the governor of the Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate, built a second serail in the town. However, during the early years of the 20th century, Ghazir's regional role declined as Mount Lebanon was politically reorganized. With the establishment of the modern Lebanese Republic in 1946, Ghazir did not see a political revival. However, the town and the Keserwan region in general saw an influx of Christians coming from other parts of Lebanon during the 1975–1990 Lebanese Civil War.
