History [ edit ]
Al-Mazra'a ash-Sharqiya has been identified as the Crusader village named Mezera , and the possible site of a Crusader church.[4] Arnulf , the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem granted the tithes of Mezera to the abbey of St Mary.[5] Mezera was mentioned in Crusader texts together with Tarphin [6] Patriarch Heraclius of Jerusalem settled a dispute regarding the tithes of the village.[7]
Ottoman era [ edit ]
In 1517, the village was included in the Ottoman empire with the rest of Palestine , and in the 1596 tax-records it appeared as Mazra'at Abu Tasa , located in the Nahiya Liwa of Al-Quds . The population was 29 households, all Muslim . They paid a fixed tax rate of 33.3% on agricultural products, which included wheat, barley, olive trees, vineyards and fruit trees, occasional revenues, goats and beehives; a total of 3,500 akçe .[8] [9]
In 1838 el-Mezra'ah was noted as a Muslim village, part of Beni Murrah district, located north of Jerusalem.[10]
An Ottoman village list of about 1870 showed that “el-Mezraa” had 177 houses and a population of 641, though the population count included men, only. It also noted that it is located south of Turmus Ayya .[11] [12]
In 1882, the PEF 's Survey of Western Palestine adobe ."[13]
In 1896 the population of Mezraa , located in the Beni Murra region, was estimated to be about 801 persons.[14]

In the 1945 statistics the population was 1,400 Muslim,[17] dunams , according to an official land and population survey.[18] [19] [20]

In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War , and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements , Al-Mazra'a ash-Sharqiya came under Jordanian rule .
The Jordanian census of 1961 found 1,929 inhabitants here.[21]
Post-1967 [ edit ]
Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Al-Mazra'a ash-Sharqiya has been under Israeli occupation .
After the 1995 accords , 10.1% of village land was classified as Area A , 71% as Area B , the remaining 18.9% as Area C . The Israelis have confiscated village land for the construction of Israeli bypass roads, to various Israeli military bases.[22]
The town's many enormous and elaborate mansions have led it to be called the "Miami of the West Bank", according to the BBC . The wealth is not from local sources, but from the Palestinian diaspora.[23] [24]
