## Description

Local Council Mughar (usually known as Maghar or El-Maghar – meaning cave) is named after the many caves on the sloops of Mount Hazon. It is situated on the south slopes of Mount Hazon, 9 kms south-east of Karmiel with 18'200 inh. (2003), 57% Druze, 23% Christian, 20% Moslems.
In the past the inhabitants were famous in their olives and in production of olive oil (hence the olive tree in the emblem).
Founded about 600 years ago, and a Local Council since 1956.
