Israelite, Byzantine, and Early Muslim periods. There are claims it is likely to have hosted inhabitants from the Tribe of Menashe. In the Roman and Byzantine eras, it has been identified as Kfar Hagai or Kiryat Hagga, a Samaritan village, with mentions in ancient inscriptions and Samaritan sources. The village was inhabited by Samaritans through the Byzantine and Early Islamic periods, evident from the discovery of Mikvehs and stone menorahs. Under Mamluk rule, a mosque was constructed.
The village's en-Naby Rabbah shrine, atop a tell, is believed to be the tomb of a saint, which has been suggested by one historian to be Baba Rabba, a 4th-century Samaritan leader, serving as a guardian of crops. This site was declared a nature reserve in 1986.
