History
In 1596, Adawan appeared in the Ottoman tax registers as "'Udwan" and was part of the nahiya of Jawlan Sarqi in the Qada of Hauran. It had an entirely Muslim population consisting of 21 households and 15 bachelors. The villagers paid a fixed tax-rate of 25% on wheat, barley, summer crops, goats and beehives; a total of 700 akçe.[2]
In the late 19th-century, Adawan was a medium-sized village inhabited by the Bedouin Adawan tribe. Its buildings, which included around 40 huts and a few ancient ruins, were mostly built of stone and mud. The village had a population of about 140.[3]
Civil war
On 9 August 2022, an Iraqi commander of the Islamic State by the name of 'Abu Salim al-Iraqi' blew himself up after he was besieged by Syrian military forces in the village.[4]
