Umm al-Tut (Arabic: ام التوت, romanized: ām al-tūt, literally "Mulberries Place") is a Palestinian village 6 km southeast of the city of Jenin in the northern West Bank. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, the town had a population of 1003 inhabitants in mid-year 2006 and 1,194 by 2017.[1][4]

History

In 1517 Umm al-Tut was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire with the rest of Palestine. During the 16th and 17th centuries, it belonged to the Turabay Emirate (1517-1683), which encompassed also the Jezreel Valley, Haifa, Jenin, Beit She'an Valley, northern Jabal Nablus, Bilad al-Ruha/Ramot Menashe, and the northern part of the Sharon plain.[5][6] Its original residents reportedly came from the areas of Nablus and Ramallah.[7]

In 1870, Umm al-Tut, called Oumm et-Toutah, situated south of Deir Abu Da'if, was one of the villages Victor Guérin noted from Faqqua.[8]

In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine described the village as resembling El Mughair, and that it stood "amongst dense thickets on the north and west, and has open plough-land on the south."[9]

British Mandate era

In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Umm al-Tut had a population 94 Muslims,[10] increasing in the 1931 census to 129 Muslims, in a total of 24 houses.[11]

In 1945 statistics the population was 170 Muslims,[12] with 4,876 dunams of land, according to an official land and population survey.[13] Of this, 132 dunams were used for plantations and irrigable land, 1,705 dunams were for cereals,[14] while a total of 6 dunams were built-up, urban land.[15]

Jordanian era

Following the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and the subsequent 1949 Armistice Agreements, Umm al-Tut came under Jordanian rule.

The Jordanian census of 1961 found 266 inhabitants in Um Tut.[16]

Post-1967

Since the 1967 Six-Day War Umm al-Tut has been under Israeli occupation.

The village is a major center of natural resources, nearby villages use 10% of Umm al-Tut's abundant surplus of fuel wood and also rely on Umm al-Tut's many pastures to raise their livestock.[17] Because of this, Umm al-Tut is under notably ample pressure due to increases in illegal/unauthorized grazing, logging, hunting, and waste disposal, as well as unlawful seizures of property by neighboring villages to convert into agricultural stock.[17]
