Zababdeh or Zababida (Arabic: الزبابدة) is a town in the State of Palestine, in the northern West Bank, located 15 kilometres (9.3 miles) southeast of Jenin and 2 kilometres (1.2 miles) from the Arab American University.

History

Sherds from the Middle Bronze Age II, Iron Age I & II, through to the Byzantine era have been found at the site.^[3]

Remains of a Frankish bovaria (=farm) has been noted,^[4] while sherds from the Mamluk and Ottoman era have also been found.^[3]

Ottoman era

The village was (re-)founded in 1834, during the Ottoman era, by three Christian Greek Orthodox families who purchased the land from Jenin Muslims.^[5] In 1838 "Zabedet" was noted as a Greek Christian village in the Haritheh area, north of Nablus.^[6]

In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it as a "moderate sized village at the south edge of the arable plain called Wady es Selhab, supplied by a well on the east, with a low hill covered with brushwood on the south."^[7] The Latin Catholic mission established its presence in the village in 1883.^[5]

In the 19th century sister Marie-Alphonsine Danil Ghattas lived here.^[8]

British Mandate era

In the 1922 census of Palestine, conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Zababdeh had a population of 482; 64 Muslims and 418 Christians,^[9] where the Christians were 83 Orthodox, 261 Roman Catholics and 74 Church of England.^[10] In the 1931 census the number of inhabitants had increased to 632; 91 Muslims and 541 Christians, in a total of 134 houses.^[11]

In 1945 Village Statistics Zababida had a population of 870; 90 Muslims and 780 Christians,^[12] and the jurisdiction of the village was 5,719 dunams of land, according to an official land and population survey.^[13] 2,510 dunams were used for plantations and irrigable land, 3,067 dunams for cereals,^[14] while 16 dunams were built-up (urban) land.^[15]

Jordanian era

After the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, Zababdeh was ruled by the Hashemites of Jordan.

In 1961, the population of Zababide was 1,474,^[16] of whom 1,077 were Christian.^[17]

Post-1967

Zababdeh came under Israeli occupation along with the rest of the West Bank during the 1967 Six-Day War. The population of Kufeir Zababida in the 1967 census conducted by Israel was 1,520, of whom 329 originated from the Israeli territory.^[18]

According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics 2007 census, there were 3,665 residents,^[1] of which roughly two-thirds are Christians,^[19] divided into Roman Catholic (Latin), Greek Orthodox, Greek Catholic and Anglican communities. For two decades, from 1974–75 until he was posted to a position as parish priest in Gaza in 1995, the village priest was Manuel Musallam, a Fatah activist and native of Birzeit, who developed excellent educational facilities in the village that attracted commuting Muslim students from Jenin.^[5] The city also has a Muslim minority; both communities live without conflicts.^[5]
