Msallata
Msallata (also Al Qasabat, Cussabat and El-Gusbát) is a town in the northwestern part of Libya, in the Murqub District. It has a population of nearly 80,000,〔 and was historically a center of Islamic studies. It is also known for olive tree farming and olive oil production. The Tripolian Republic was announced in Msallata on 16 November 1918 which was the first republic in the Arab world. Along with the city of Tarhuna, it gave its name to the former Libyan district of Tarhuna wa Msalata.
==Etymology==
There has not been any research on the etymology of the name Msallata, but there is some speculation as to its origins. One theory is that the name comes from the plural of the Arabic word for obelisk ''masalla'' which is ''masallat'' because the city is the home of 22 tall buildings called qasaba. Others speculate that the name comes from the Arabic word ''salt'' (scrubbing), which also has the more specific meaning of 'scrubbing olive from its tree', with M in the beginning being a variant of the Himyarite definite article ''am-''. Supporters of this argument mention the fact that Msallata is famous for its olive production. However, none of these claims have been scientifically substantiated.
