History edit

In 1838, it was noted as a small Muslim village in the Er-Ramleh District.[5][6]

In 1863, Victor Guérin passed by, and noted a spring by the village.[7]

In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine noted it as an adobe village of "moderate size."[8]

British Mandate era edit

In the 1922 census of Palestine, conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Mansura had a population of 31, all Muslims,[9] increasing in the 1931 census to 61, still all Muslims, in a total of 14 houses.[10]

In the 1945 statistics, the village had a population of 90, all Muslim,[2] and the total land area was 2,328 dunums.[3] Of this, Arabs used 2,113 dunums for cereals,[11] while 3 dunams were classified as built-up urban areas.[12]
