Ottoman era
Arranah, like the rest of Palestine , was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1517, and in the census of 1596, the village appeared as 'Arrana , located in the nahiya of Sara in the liwa of Lajjun . It had a population of 17 households, all Muslim . They paid a fixed tax rate of 25 % on agricultural products, including wheat, barley, summer crops, olive trees, goats and beehives, in addition to occasional revenues; a total of 9,000 akçe .[ 5]
In 1838, it was noted as a village in the Jenin district.[ 6] [ 7]
In 1870, Victor Guérin noted it on a small hilltop.[ 8]
In 1882, the PEF 's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described Arraneh as: "A small village, principally of mud , with a few stone houses, standing in the plain, surrounded by olive-yards. It is supplied with water from cisterns . A kubbeh exists about 1/4 mile north of the village."[ 3]
British Mandate era
In the 1922 census of Palestine , conducted by the British Mandate authorities , the village had a population of 216 Muslims,[ 9] increasing slightly in the 1931 census to 267 Muslims, in 46 households.[ 10]
In 1944/5 statistics the population was 320, all Muslim,[ 11] with a total of 7,866 dunams of land, according to an official land and population survey.[ 12] Of this, 13 dunams were used for plantations and irrigable land, 6,460 dunams for cereals,[ 13] while 10 dunams were built-up (urban) land.[ 14]
Jordanian era
After the 1948 Arab–Israeli War and the 1949 Armistice Agreements , Arranah came under Jordanian rule .
The Jordanian census of 1961 found 539 inhabitants.[ 15]
