History

Ottoman era

In 1883, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine noted "heaps of stones" at Kh. Umm Salamôni.[3]

British Mandate era

In the 1931 census the population of Umm Salamuna was counted together with Beit Fajjar, Marah Ma'alla and Marah Rabah. The total population was 1043, all Muslims, in 258 houses.[4]

Jordanian era

In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, Umm Salumuna came under Jordanian rule.

In 1961, the population was 118.[5]

Post-1967

Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Umm Salamuna has been held under Israeli occupation.

After the 1995 accords, 20.2% of Umm Salamuna land was classified as Area B, while the remaining 79.8% was classified as Area C. Israel has planned that 326 dunams of village land (or 14.9 percent of the total area of Umm Salamuna) will be isolated from the village on the Israeli side of the West Bank barrier.[6]
