According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), the town had a population of 5,162 inhabitants in 2017.[1] Most of the town's laborers work in agriculture, with figs and olives being the major source of income.[2]

History
Ceramics from the Byzantine era have been found here.[3]
Ottoman era
In 1517, the village was included in the Ottoman Empire with the rest of Palestine, and it appeared in the 1596 tax-records as Till, located in the Nahiya of Jabal Qubal of the Liwa of Nablus. The population was 46 households, all Muslim. They paid a fixed tax rate of 33.3% on agricultural products, such as wheat, barley, summer crops, olive trees, goats and beehives, in addition to occasional revenues, a press for olive oil or grape syrup, and a fixed tax for people of Nablus area; a total of 5,100 akçe.[4]
In 1838, Till was located in the District of Jurat 'Amra, south of Nablus.[5]
In 1863, Victor Guérin found it to have a population of one thousand inhabitants. It was divided into several districts, each administered by a different sheikh. He further noted: "Some houses are large and fairly well built. Around the village grow, in pens, beautiful plantations of fig and pomegranate trees."[6]
In 1870/1871 (1288 AH), an Ottoman census listed the village in the nahiya (sub-district) of Jamma'in al-Thani, subordinate to Nablus.[7]
In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine described Till as: "A village of moderate size on low ground, with a high mound behind it on the south; it has a well and a few trees, and on the west a pool in winter; the hills to the north are bare and white, but terraced to the very top."[8]
British mandate era
In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Tel had a population of 567 Muslims,[9] increasing in the 1931 census to 803 Muslims, in 209 houses.[10]
In the 1945 statistics the population was 1,060 Muslims,[11] while the total land area was 13,766 dunams, according to an official land and population survey.[12] Of this, 1,056 dunams were for plantations and irrigable land, 7,023 for cereals,[13] while 55 dunams were classified as built-up areas.[14]
Jordanian era
In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, Tell came under Jordanian rule.
The Jordanian census of 1961 found 1,539 inhabitants.[15]
1967, aftermath
Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Tell has been held under Israeli military occupation.
