Its control aided the Romans in coordinating their influence over the region. More recently, the town faced intense conflict during the Libyan Civil War and was forcibly evacuated in 2011. Tawergha became a ghost town, and its population was displaced. In Berber, Tawergha means "the green island". The town was known for its palm trees and date production.While the town is undergoing reconstruction, with efforts to restore basic services and infrastructure, the springs remain a focal point. Visitors can witness the ongoing efforts to rebuild while appreciating the enduring beauty of the natural landscape.
