In the 1596 tax records, it was named as a village, Kfar Rumana, in the Ottoman nahiya (subdistrict) of Sagif under the liwa' (district) of Safad, with a population of 83 households and 1 bachelor, all Muslim. The villagers taxes on goats and bee hives, occasional revenues, a press for olive oil or grape syrup, in addition to a fixed sum; a total of 4,094 akçe.[1][2]

In 1875, Victor Guérin found the village to have 180 Metuali inhabitants. The village had a mosque constructed with ancient materials.[3]
