History

Pottery sherds from Iron Age II, Hellenistic/Roman, Crusader/Ayyubid and Mamluk eras have been found here.[4]

Ottoman era

In 1596, it appeared in Ottoman tax registers as "′Ammuriya", a village in the nahiya of Jabal Qubal in the liwa of Nablus. It had a population of 7 households and 1 bachelor, all Muslim. The villagers paid taxes on wheat, barley, summer crops, olive trees, goats and beehives, and a press for olive oils or grapes; a total of 0,000 akçe.[5]

In 1882, the Palestine Exploration Fund's Survey of Western Palestine described it as "A small village on high ground".[6]

British Mandate era

In the 1922 census of Palestine, conducted by the British Mandate authorities, the population was 69, all Muslim,[7][1] while at the time of the 1931 census, Ammuriya had 19 occupied houses and a population of 85, all Muslim.[8] In 1945 the population was 120, all Muslims,[9] with 3111 dunams of land, according to an official land and population survey.[10] Of this, 1753 dunams were used for cereals,[11] while 6 dunams were built-up land.[12]

Israel (post-1967)

In 1967 the village came under Israeli occupation after the Six-Day War, and the same year the population was found to be 130.[13]
