An ancient tunnel which led to the village spring is associated with the story of Samson. Both during and after its incorporation into Crusader fiefdoms in the 12th century, its population was Arab.

The local farmers cultivated cereals, fruit trees and olive groves and some engaged in livestock breeding.
