History
Kandirib (today called Söğütlü) was historically inhabited by Syriac Christians. The calligrapher Daniel of Kandirib is mentioned in the Life of Mar Simeon of the Olives (d. 734). In c. 1583, the Christian population of Bēth Muḥallam, including the village of Kandirib, converted to Islam to escape persecution. From the 1910s onwards, many Mhallamis from the village migrated to Lebanon for economic reasons, while some Mhallami and Kurdish families settled in the village afterwards. The Kurdish families came from Kerboran and neighbouring villages.
