Mazari an-Nubani ( Arabic: مزارع النوباني) is a Palestinian town in the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate, located 25 kilometers North of Ramallah in the northern West Bank. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), the town had a population of 2,436 inhabitants in 2017. [1]
Mazari al-Nubani was by earlier scholars ( Röhricht, Prawer and Benvenisti) identified with the Crusader village called Mezera, but newer scholars ( Finkelstein et al.) disputes this. [3]
In 1596 the village, under the name of Mazra'at al-'Abbas, appeared in the Ottoman tax registers as being in the Nahiya of Quds of the Liwa of Quds. It had a population of 60 households and 21 bachelors, all Muslim. Taxes were paid on wheat, barley, olive trees, vineyards and fruit trees, goats and/or beehives; a total of 6,910 akçe. 1/3 of the revenue went to a Waqf. [4] [5]
In 1838 el-Mezari'a was noted as a Muslim village, part of the Beni Zeid area, located north of Jerusalem. [6]
When Guérin passed by the village in 1870, he estimated it had a population of about 600. [7] An Ottoman village list from about the same year showed Mazari with a population of 560, in 163 houses, though the population count included men only. It was also noted it was located east of Qarawat Bani Zeid. [8] [9]
In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine described the village, then called Mezrah, [2] as being of moderate size, on high ground. [10]
In 1896 the population of Mezra‘a was estimated to be about 1,008 persons. [11]
In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Mazarie' al-Nubani had a population of 611 Muslims, [12] increasing in the 1931 census to 864 Muslims, in 193 houses. [13]
The 1945 statistics found 1,090 Muslim inhabitants [14] with a total of 9,631 dunam of land. [15] Of this, 7,399 were used for plantations and irrigable land, 445 for cereals, [16] while 59 dunams were classified as built-up areas. [17]
In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, Mazari Nubani came under Jordanian rule.
In 1961, the population of Mazari al-Nubani was 1,358. [18]
Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Mazari al-Nuban has been under Israeli occupation.
According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), the town had a population of approximately 2,510 inhabitants in mid-year 2006. [19]
The local a-Nubani hamula claims to descend from Abdul Qadir Gilani, a Sufi leader who founded the Qadiri order. [20]
