'''Jarba''' ({{langx|ar|جربا }}) is a [[Palestinians|Palestinian]] village in the [[Jenin Governorate]].

== History ==
Pottery [[sherd]]s from the  [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] (10%), early [[Muslim]] (30%) and the Middle Ages (30%) have been found at Jarba.<ref name=Zertal>Zertal, 2004, pp. [https://books.google.com/books?id=Vt-IvRhCEyYC&pg=PA226 226]- [https://books.google.com/books?id=Vt-IvRhCEyYC&pg=PA227 227]</ref>
===Ottoman era===
Jarba, like all of [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]], was incorporated into the [[Ottoman Empire]] in 1517.  About 30% of the pottery sherds found in the village date back to this period.<ref name=Zertal/>  In the 1596 Ottoman [[defter|tax registers]],  it was located in the ''[[nahiya]]'' of  Jabal Sami, part of [[Sanjak of Nablus]]. Jarba was listed as an entirely [[Muslim]] village with a population of 11  households and 2 bachelors. The inhabitants paid a fixed tax rate of 33,3% on agricultural products, including wheat, barley, summer crops, [[olive]] trees, and goats and/or beehives, in addition to occasional revenues and a tax on people from the Nablus area, a total of 1,500  [[akçe]].<ref>Hütteroth  and Abdulfattah, 1977, p. 129</ref>

In 1838 ''el-Jurba''  was noted as a village in the District of ''esh-Sha'rawiyeh esh-Shurkiyeh'', the eastern part.<ref>Robinson and Smith, 1841, vol 3, p. [https://archive.org/stream/biblicalresearch03robiuoft#page/n170/mode/1up 153]</ref><ref>Robinson and Smith, 1841, vol 3, 2nd appendix, p. [https://archive.org/stream/biblicalresearch03robiuoft#page/129/mode/1up 129]</ref>

In 1870, [[Victor Guérin]] noted it as a small village situated on a neighboring hill from [[Misilyah]].<ref>Guérin, 1874, p. [https://archive.org/stream/descriptionsam01gu#page/344/mode/1up   344]</ref>  

In 1882 the [[Palestine Exploration Fund|PEF]]'s  ''[[PEF Survey of Palestine|Survey of Western Palestine]]'' (SWP) described   ''Jurba'' as:  "a small village on the side of a slope, with olives to the south."<ref>Conder and Kitchener, 1882, SWP II, p. [https://archive.org/stream/surveyofwesternp02conduoft#page/196/mode/1up 196]</ref>
===British Mandate  era===
In the [[1922 census of Palestine]], conducted  by the [[Mandatory Palestine|British Mandate authorities]], Jarba had a population of 31 Muslims,<ref name=Census1922>Barron, 1923, Table IX, Sub-district of Jenin, p. [https://archive.org/stream/PalestineCensus1922/Palestine%20Census%20%281922%29#page/n31/mode/1up  29]</ref>   increasing in the [[1931 census of Palestine|1931 census]] to 65 Muslim, in a total of 17  houses.<ref name=Census1931>Mills, 1932, p. [https://archive.org/details/CensusOfPalestine1931.PopulationOfVillagesTownsAndAdministrativeAreas  68]</ref>

In the [[Village Statistics, 1945|1944/5 statistics]]  the population  was 100, all Muslims,<ref name=DoS1945>Government of Palestine, Department of Statistics, 1945, p. [http://users.cecs.anu.edu.au/~bdm/yabber/census/VSpages/VS1945_p16.jpg 16] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180905203337/http://users.cecs.anu.edu.au/~bdm/yabber/census/VSpages/VS1945_p16.jpg |date=2018-09-05 }}</ref> with 3,530 [[dunam]]s of land, according to an official land and population survey.<ref>Government of Palestine, Department of Statistics. ''Village Statistics, April, 1945.'' Quoted in Hadawi, 1970, p. [http://www.palestineremembered.com/download/VillageStatistics/Table%20I/Jinin/Page-054.jpg 54]</ref>  100 dunams were used  for plantations and irrigable land, 1,553 for cereals,<ref>Government of Palestine, Department of Statistics. ''Village Statistics, April, 1945.'' Quoted in Hadawi,  1970, p. [http://www.palestineremembered.com/download/VillageStatistics/Table%20II/Jinin/Page-098.jpg 98]</ref> while 2 dunams were built-up (urban) land.<ref>Government of Palestine, Department of Statistics.

===Jordanian era===
In the wake of the [[1948 Arab–Israeli War]], and after the [[1949 Armistice Agreements]], Jarba came under [[Jordanian annexation of the West Bank|Jordanian rule]]. 

===post-1967===
Since the [[Six-Day War]] in 1967, Jarba has been under  [[Israeli occupation of the West Bank|Israeli occupation]].

==Byzantine site at Nazlat Rahal==
Just southwest of Jarba is ''Nazlat Rahal'',<ref name=Palmer185>''Kh. el Haj Rahhâl'', the ruin of el Hâj (Pilgrim) Rahhâl; according to Palmer, 1881, p.  [https://archive.org/stream/surveyofwesternp00conduoft#page/185/mode/1up 185]</ref> where [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] ceramics have been found.<ref>Dauphin, 1998, p. 756</ref> [[PEF Survey of Palestine|SWP]] found at ''Kh. Haj Rah-hal'':  "traces of ruins."<ref>Conder and Kitchener, 1882, SWP II, p. [https://archive.org/stream/surveyofwesternp02conduoft#page/156/mode/1up 156]</ref>
