History
In 1875, Victor Guérin found the village, (which he called Djennateh), to have 60 Metawileh inhabitants. He further noted: "The village contains a number of ruined houses. A little mosque is partly built of ancient materials."
In 1881, the Palestine Exploration Fund's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it: "A small village of stone and mud, containing about 100 Moslems. […] It lies low, on arable land. The water is supplied by two wells in the village."
