From 2001 to 2007 it was part of the Tajura wa Al Nawahi AlArba‘ District, which then was merged into Tripoli District.
Castelverde was founded as a colonial settlement in Italian Libya, and is a namesake of the town Castelverde in Lombardy, Italy.
In June 2016, citizens took up arms to defend against a militia from the nearby city of Misrata after a dispute developed between them. During the conflict, a large blast killed 25 people.[4]
It's very popular for its sandy beaches and considered the best rated beach in the country.[by whom?]
The town is situated on the main road between Tripoli and Khoms, Libya, near the Mediterranean Sea coast. The new Libyan railway line passes through Castelverde.
