The village also has the claimed tomb of a prophet, Nabi Nasser, however this is unknown if it is a prophets tomb at all. In the area around Nabi Nasser there used to be ruins of a city or town that could date to the 2nd century AD, with many clay pots, oil lamps, and Roman coinage found around it.In 1838, Eli Smith noted Kefr Hatta as a village by Jezzin, "East of et-Tuffa".
The main village was destroyed in an earthquake in 1956, so the villagers built south of the graveyard. There are three mosques in the village. The newest mosque was built in the 1960s, with two mosques to the north in the old area old the village, the newer of them dating before 1956 and still standing with some use, and the older being in ruins.
