History

In 2011, a mosaic was discovered in Kafr Nabudah dates back to the 6th century during the Byzantine era.

In 1838, its inhabitants were noted as being predominantly Sunni Muslims.

During the Syrian Civil War, the town quickly fell to opposition forces, but would be shelled repeatedly by both the regime (in 2013) and Russian (in 2015) air forces. The Syrian army regained control of the town during the Northwestern Syria offensive on June 2, 2019.

On 30 November 2024, HTS rebels captured the city from the Syrian Army.
