This town is known for being one of the many born of emigration from Lebanon. The first wave of migration that emerged in Baaloul was between 1935 - 1950, prior to Lebanese independence and during administration of the territory by France. The French Mandate of Lebanon exercised authority and take political and economic decisions in the territory. The French showed certain preferences to the community Christian Maronite, some discrimination to be reported to the Muslim. Lebanese Muslim men of the time were protesting the situation and claimed that they did not want to live in a country where decisions were exercised by foreigners over the Arab, this resulted in the displacement of these out of Lebanese territory.
The second displacement of its inhabitants began during the 70s, when the country was facing the beginning of a power struggle in the political and social field between the factions Muslim and Christian. Finally this struggle gave as a result the start of the Lebanese Civil War (1975 - 1990).
