Municipality type A in Hebron, State of Palestine
Tarqumiyah (Arabic : ترقوميا ) is a Palestinian city located 12 kilometers northwest of Hebron , in the southern West Bank , in the Hebron Governorate of the State of Palestine . The city had a population of 19,311 in 2017.[1]
History [ edit ]
Tarqumiyah is an ancient town situated on a rocky hill. Cisterns have been found here.[3]
According to the PEF 's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP), this place is the early Christian Tricomias , an episcopal see .[4]
Ottoman era [ edit ]
In the 16th century, Tarquimyah was a small village.[5] In the census of 1596 the village appeared to be in the Nahiya of Halil of the Liwa of Quds . It had a population of 17 families, all Muslim . They paid a fixed tax-rate of 33,33% on agricultural products, including wheat, barley, olive trees, goats and beehives, in addition to occasional revenues; a total of 6,500 akçe .[6]
In 1838 Edward Robinson passed by and noted that Tarqumiya was on the most common path from Gaza , via Bayt Jibrin to Hebron . While resting at Tarqumiya, he was visited by the local Sheikh and other dignitaries, who “demeaned themselves kindly and courteously."[7] [8] He further noted it as a Muslim village, between the mountains and Gaza , but subject to the government of el-Khulil .[9]
In 1863 Victor Guérin found it to have 400 inhabitants,[10] while an Ottoman village list from about 1870 counted 45 houses and a population of 108, though the population count included men, only.[11] [12]
In 1883 SWP described Tarqumiyah as “A small village on a rocky hill near the low lands. On the east, about a mile distant, is a spring; on the south are olives.”[4]
British Mandate era [ edit ]
According to the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities , Tarqumiyah had a population of 976 inhabitants, all Muslims,[13] increasing in the 1931 census to 1,173, still entirely Muslim, in 225 inhabited houses.[14]
In the 1945 statistics the population of Tarqumiya was 1,550 Muslims,[15] and the total land area was 21,188 dunams of land according to an official land and population survey.[16] 1,029 dunams were plantations and irrigable land, 6,614 were used for cereals,[17] while 152 dunams were built-up (urban) land.[18]

Jordanian era [ edit ]
In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War , and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements , Tarqumiyah came under Jordanian rule .
In 1961, the population of Tarqumiyah was 2,651.[19]
Post-1967 [ edit ]
Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Tarqumiyah has been under Israeli occupation . The population in the 1967 census conducted by the Israeli authorities was 2,412.[20] Israel has expropriated land from Tarqumiyah in order to construct two Israeli settlements : Telem and Adora .[21]
Since 1995, Tarqumiyah has also been governed by the Palestinian National Authority as part of Area B of the West Bank . According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics , the town had a population of over 14,357 in 2007.[22]
In 2024, during the 2023-24 Hamas Israeli war, Israeli and Palestinian aid trucks have been attacked by Israeli rioters here. [23]
