Al-Funduq

Al-Funduq is located {{convert|16|km|mi|sp=us}} east of Qalqiliya. It is bordered by Immatain to the east, Deir Istiya to the south, Wadi Qana (in Salfit Governorate) to the west and Hajja to the north.

Ceramics from the Byzantine era were found here,Dauphin, 1998, p. 800 and it has been suggested that this place was Fondeka, once inhabited by Samaritans.Neubauer, 1868, p. [https://archive.org/stream/lagographiedutal00neub#page/172/mode/1up 172]Conder and Kitchener, 1882, SWP II, p. [https://archive.org/stream/surveyofwesternp02conduoft#page/164/mode/1up 164]

During the Crusader period Funduq was inhabited by Muslims, according to the historian Diya al-Din al-Maqdisi. A Hanbali scholar named Ahmad ibn Abd al-Daim al-Maqaddasi al-Hanbali was born in the village in 575 AH/1180 CE. He died there in 668 AH/March 1270 CE.Ellenblum, 2003, p. [https://books.google.com/books?id=riHMZiH_Te4C&pg=PA244 244]Drory, 1988, pp. 102-103 Followers of the Hanbali scholar Ibn Qudamah (1146/47-1223) also lived in the village.Drory, 1988, p. 97 A Muslim sheikh named Abd Allah was another resident.Talmon-Heller, 1994, p. [https://www.academia.edu/7232922/ 112]Talmon-Heller, 2002, pp. [https://www.academia.edu/4429775 136]-142

The place appeared in 1596 Ottoman tax registers as Funduq. It was in the Nahiya of Bani Sa'b of the Liwa of Nablus and had a population of 86 households, all Muslim, who paid a fixed tax-rate of 33.3% on wheat, barley, summer crops, olives, goats, beehives, and a press for olives or grapes, in addition to occasional revenue - a total of 10,500 akçe.Hütteroth and Abdulfattah, 1977, p. 139

A map from Napoleon's invasion of 1799 by Pierre Jacotin calls it Fondouk, a village by the road from Jaffa to Nablus.Karmon, 1960, p. [http://www.jchp.ucla.edu/Bibliography/Karmon,_Y_1960_Jacotin_Map_(IEJ_10).pdf 156] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191222063351/http://www.jchp.ucla.edu/Bibliography/Karmon,_Y_1960_Jacotin_Map_(IEJ_10).pdf |date=2019-12-22 }}

In 1838 Robinson described el-Funduk as a village in Beni Sa'ab district, west of Nablus.Robinson and Smith, 1841, vol 3, Appendix 2, p. [https://archive.org/stream/biblicalresearch03robiuoft#page/127/mode/1up 127]

In 1870/1871 (1288 AH), an Ottoman census listed the village in the nahiya (sub-district) of Bani Sa'b.{{Cite book |last=Grossman |first=David |title=Arab Demography and Early Jewish Settlement in Palestine |publisher=Magnes Press |year=2004 |location=Jerusalem |pages=255}}

In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine described the village as "a small poor village by the main road, with wells to the north and two sacred places; it stands on high ground," and located in the Beni Sab district.

In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Funduq had a population of 66 inhabitants, all Muslims,Barron, 1923, Table IX, Sub-district of Nablus, p. [https://archive.org/stream/PalestineCensus1922/Palestine%20Census%20%281922%29#page/n27/mode/1up 25] increasing in the 1931 census to 72 Muslims, with 21 houses.Mills, 1932, p. [https://archive.org/details/CensusOfPalestine1931.PopulationOfVillagesTownsAndAdministrativeAreas 61]

In the 1945 census El Funduq had a population was 100 Muslims,Government of Palestine, Department of Statistics, 1945, p. [http://users.cecs.anu.edu.au/~bdm/yabber/census/VSpages/VS1945_p18.jpg 18] with 1,619 dunams of land, according to an official land and population survey.Government of Palestine, Department of Statistics. Village Statistics, April, 1945. Quoted in Hadawi, 1970, p. [http://www.palestineremembered.com/download/VillageStatistics/Table%20I/Nablus/Page-059.jpg 59] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303175953/http://www.palestineremembered.com/download/VillageStatistics/Table%20I/Nablus/Page-059.jpg |date=2016-03-03 }} Of this, 43 dunams were for plantations or irrigated land, 1,026 for cereals,Government of Palestine, Department of Statistics. Village Statistics, April, 1945. Quoted in Hadawi, 1970, p. [http://www.palestineremembered.com/download/VillageStatistics/Table%20II/Nablus/Page-106.jpg 106] while 14 dunams were built-up (urban) land.Government of Palestine, Department of Statistics.

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

The Jordanian census of 1961 found 137 inhabitants in Al-Funduq.Government of Jordan, Department of Statistics, 1964, p. [http://users.cecs.anu.edu.au/~bdm/yabber/census/JordanCensusPages/JordanCensus1961-p26.pdf 26]

Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Al-Funduq has been under Israeli occupation.

After the 1995 accords, 4.8% of Jinsafut and Al-Funduq land was classified as Area B, the remaining 95.2% as Area C.[http://vprofile.arij.org/qalqiliya/pdfs/vprofile/Jinsafut_vp_en.pdf Jinsafut Village Profile (including Al Funduq Locality)], ARIJ, 2013, p. 17

Al-Funduq's residents originally came from Jab'it, near Duma. The village also absorbed refugees from Kafr Qara.Grossman, D. (1986).
