Tuwaym (: also transliterated Tuweim) is a village in central Syria, administratively part of the Hama Governorate. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Tuwaym had a population of 1,428 in the 2004 census. Its inhabitants are predominantly Alawites.
==History== In an Ottoman court record from 1818, Tuwaym was listed as a village of the Hama Sanjak, consisting of 8 feddans and paying 660 qirsh in taxes. In 1838, Tuwaym was recorded as a Sunni Muslim village. In the late 19th or early 20th centuries, the inhabitants sold all or most of their lands to the urban notables of Hama. In the early 1930s, the inhabitants were Alawite tenant farmers and the lands were mostly owned by different notable families of Hama.
