== History == The commune of Hammadi is primarily populated by Arabophone Berbers, specifically the Sanhadja, descendants of the Zirids, a dynasty founded by Bologhine U Ziri. The very name of the commune alludes to the Hammadids, a dynasty established by Hammad ibn Buluggin, who separated from the Zirid kingdom. The inhabitants of the commune are still referred to by this name (Hammadids).
