Haytla (Arabic: هيتلا, romanized: Haytlā) is a town in Akkar Governorate, Lebanon.

History

In 1838, Eli Smith noted the village as Heitela, located east of esh-Sheikh Mohammed. The inhabitants were Alawites and Greek Orthodox.

In 1856 it was also named Heitela on the map of Northern Palestine/Lebanon that Heinrich Kiepert published that year.
