History
Early Bronze Age
Jarisha was located only Script error: No such module "convert". from Tel Gerisa, an archaeological site dating to the Early Bronze II period (2800-2600 BC).
Middle Bronze Age
In the Middle Bronze period (2000-1500 BC) the site was a fortified Hyksos town.
Late Bronze Age and Iron Age
It was succeeded by a Philistine settlement around the 12th century BC.[4]
Ottoman period
In the 1596 tax records under the Ottoman Empire, it was a village in the nahiya ("subdistrict") of the Bani Sa'b, part of Nablus Sanjak. It had a population of 22 Muslim households; an estimated 121 persons, who paid taxes on buffalo, goats and beehives; a total of 2,150 akçe.[5]
In 1856 the village was named Darishah on Kiepert's map of Palestine published that year.[6] An Ottoman village list from about 1870 showed that the village had a population of 76 in a total of 38 houses, though that population count included men, only. It was further noted that it was located 6000 meters NE of Jaffa.[7][8]
In 1882 the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described the village, transcribed as "Jerisheh", as being built of adobe bricks and flanked by an olive grove. It had a well and a mill.[9] South-east of the village was the ruins of a Khan, a graveyard and some caves, also a masonry dam and a small bridge, "apparently Saracenic".[10]
British Mandate era
In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Jerisheh had a population of 57, all Muslims[11] increasing by the 1931 census to 183, still all Muslims, in a total of 43 houses.[12]
Since May 1944, Jarisha was part of the municipality of Ramat Gan.[13]
In the 1945 statistics it had a population of 190 Muslims,[14] with 555 dunams of land.[15] The villagers worked in the service industry, but some also grew fruits and vegetables; in 1944-45 a total of 302 dunums of village land was used for citrus and bananas, and 89 dunums were irrigated or used for orchards.[16] 3 dunams were classified as built-up areas.[17]
1948, and after
According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the state of the village site in 1992 was as follows: "The site has been completely covered over by highways and suburban houses."[18]
