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]
