History
In the 1596 tax records, it was named as a village, Yuhmur, in the Ottoman nahiya (subdistrict) of Sagif under the liwa' (district) of Safad, with a population of 42 households and 5 bachelors, all Muslim. The villagers paid a fixed tax-rate of 25 % on agricultural products, such as wheat, barley, olive trees, goats and beehives, in addition to "occasional revenues" and a press for olive oil or grape syrup; a total of 4,800 akçe.
The village has a population of about 3,000, although the population swells to a much higher number in the summer. The residents are Shia Muslims. Prime agricultural crops include olives and tobacco.
