Article History

Boufarik, town, northern Algeria, in the centre of the irrigated Mitidja plain. Founded by Governor Bertrand Clauzel in 1836 on malarial swampland, the settlement successfully adopted intensive cultivation methods. Built on a rectangular plan with long, straight, shaded streets, the town is bounded by the Wadi el-Khemis (west), the Wadi Bouchemla (east), low-lying coastal hills (north), and the first ridges of the Atlas Mountains (south). An agricultural economy prevails based on grapes, citrus fruits, cereals, tobacco, and truck crops. Flowers are also raised and distilled for perfume. Boufarik has a cooperative wine distillery and a cattle market. Pop. (2008) 57,162.
