Deir Nidham
Deir Nidham (Arabic: دير نظام) is a Palestinian village in the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate in the central West Bank. It is located approximately 23 kilometers (14 mi) northwest of the city of Ramallah and its elevation is 590 meters (1,940 ft). According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) 2017 census, the town had a population of 876.
Deir Nidham is located 13.7 kilometers (8.5 mi) northwest of Ramallah. It is bordered by Umm Safa and Kobar to the east, Nabi Salih and Bani Zeid to the north, 'Abud and Bani Zeid to the west, and Al-Itihad to the south.
Sherds have been found here from the Byzantine, Crusader/Ayyubid and Mamluk eras. The Mandatory DOA documented a columbarium and a plain mosaic floor at the site.
In 1517, the village was included in the Ottoman Empire with the rest of Palestine, and in the 1596 tax-records it appeared as Dayr an-Nidam, located in the Nahiya of Jabal Quds of the Liwa of Al-Quds. The population was 4 households, all Muslim. They paid a fixed tax rate of 25% on agricultural products, which included wheat, barley, olive trees, vineyards and fruit trees, goats and beehives in addition to "occasional revenues"; a total of 1200 akçe. Sherds from the early Ottoman era has also been found here.
In 1863 Victor Guérin visited and described it as being half ruined and inhabited only by a hundred fellahin. Several cisterns, partially filled, and a number of antique stones, scattered on the ground or reused, proved to him that it had succeeded a former locality. An Ottoman village list from about 1870 found that the village had a population of 59, in a total of 17 houses, though the population count included men, only.
In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it: "A small hamlet on a high point, with olives round it. It is just above the ruins of Tibneh, and water is obtained from the 'Ain Tibneh."
In 1896 the population of Der en-nizam was estimated to be about 147 persons.
In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Deir Nidham (Dair Inzam) had a population of 106 Muslims. increasing in the 1931 census when Deir Nizam had 166 Muslims in 34 houses.
