In 1799, in the late Ottoman period, Um Junieh was noted as "ruins" on the map of Pierre Jacotin.Karmon, 1960, p. [http://www.jchp.ucla.edu/Bibliography/Karmon,_Y_1960_Jacotin_Map_(IEJ_10).pdf 167] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201182028/http://jchp.ucla.edu/Bibliography/Karmon,_Y_1960_Jacotin_Map_(IEJ_10).pdf |date=2017-12-01 }} In 1875, Victor Guérin noted Um Junieh as a village.Guérin, 1880, p. [https://archive.org/stream/descriptiongogr01unkngoog#page/n296/mode/1up 283] In the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine in 1881 Umm Junieh was described as having 250 inhabitants, all Muslim.Conder and Kitchener, 1881, SWP I, [https://archive.org/stream/surveyofwesternp01conduoft#page/362/mode/1up p.362]. Quoted in Khalidi, 1992, p. 532 They noted that it was possible that Umm Junieh was the place which Josephus called Union.Conder and Kitchener, 1881, SWP I, [https://archive.org/stream/surveyofwesternp01conduoft#page/371/mode/1up 371]

In the 1880s the land of Khirbat Umm Juni and Al-Manshiyya was bought on behalf of the Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Baháʼí Faith. The Arab inhabitants continued to farm the land as tenant farmers.

A population list from about 1887 showed that Kiryet Umm Juny had about 330 Muslim inhabitants.Schumacher, 1888, p. [https://archive.org/stream/quarterlystateme19pale#page/n212/mode/1up 187]

In 1905-1907 the land was resold to the Jewish National Fund. What were to become Kibbutz Degania was established at Umm Juni, in part using existing Arab-made mud huts and for a while the Arab village and the Jewish one coexisted.

In the 1922 census of Palestine, there were 79 Muslim residents in Khirbat Umm Juneh,Barron, 1923, Table XI, Sub-district of Tiberias, p. [https://archive.org/stream/PalestineCensus1922/Palestine%20Census%20%281922%29#page/n41/mode/1up 39] while no number is available for Al-Manshiyya.Khalidi, 1992, p. 532{{dubious|See previous tag: Manshiyya wasn't there yet...|date=August 2016}}

In 1992 the village site was described: "The site is covered with grasses and a few palm and eucalyptus trees; no traces of buildings remain. The surrounding lands are cultivated by Israelis."

• Degania Alef, the "mother of all kibbutzim", was established at Umm Junieh in 1909
