## History

[edit]

Main article: First Battle of the Issers

In the mid-19th century, the area was known as Haouch Legata.[2] It was home to the Ben-Kanoun family, which owned some 4000 hectares in the area.[3] In the wake of the Mokrani Revolt, the French government expropriated this land to create the colony of Isserbourg there in 1874.[4] After Algeria's independence in 1962, the name of Legata was restored.

## Nature

[edit]

In the north of the commune along the Mediterranean coast, the Mandoura Forest is dominated by Aleppo pine and other Mediterranean maquis flora.[5] The Isser River runs from near the town itself to the edge of the forest.
