Local Council Kabul is situated in the Western Lower Galilee
Mountains, about 15 km SE of Acre. The
village was established in the 13th century and became a Local
Council in 1974. There is more than one explanation to the
village name. The most popular is the name of type of soil. The
Local Council has 7500 inh., all of them Arabs. Mr. Abdallah
Rian, Local Council Secretary, wrote me that the Local Council
emblem was approved in the council meeting of 1 February 1978 and
published in the Official Gazette (Reshumot) on 4
November 1982. It combines an olive tree and a vine, symbolizing
the source of income to the village then and also the close
connection to the land and the olive tree. The flag is of course
unofficial.

In my research of municipal flags
legislation I was unable to find this emblem published in the
official gazette (Rashumot).

The name "Kabul" appeared in the bible (Josua 19,27
and Kings A 15, 10-13) as a town in Asher tribe estate or the
area of Acre valley. The most popular explanation for its name is
a type of soil, but there are who think the it come from the
Hebrew word gvul (border).
