Zibda is possibly the place called Zebedellum in Crusader sources in the year 1200.[3]
Zibda, like the rest of Palestine, was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1517. During the 16th and 17th centuries, Musmus belonged to 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]
In the census of 1596, the village appeared as Zabda, located in the nahiya of Sha'ara in the liwa of Lajjun. It had a population of 26 households, all Muslim. They paid a fixes tax rate of 25% on agricultural products, including wheat, barley, summer crops, goats and beehives, in addition to occasional revenues and a tax on a press for olive oil or grape syrup; a total of 6,500 akçe.[7] Pottery remains from the early Ottoman era (5%) have also been found here.[3]
Zibda was temporarily abandoned sometime after the 18th century due to war or blood feud between brothers, possibly during the Qays–Yaman war of 1840–1860.[8]
In 1838 Zebda was noted as a village in the Jenin province, also called the Haritheh esh-Shemaliyeh province.[9]
In 1870/1871 (1288 AH), an Ottoman census listed the village in the nahiya of Shafa al-Gharby.[10]
In 1882, the PEF's published its 1870s Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described Zebdah as "a ruined village with a well."[11]
In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Zabdah had a population 150 Muslims,[12] decreasing in the 1931 census to 132 Muslim, in a total of 22 houses.[13]
In the 1945 statistics, the population of Zibda was 190 Muslims,[14] with a total 11,924 dunams of land, according to an official land and population survey.[15] Of this, 1,136 dunams were used for plantations and irrigable land, 1,022 dunams were for cereals,[16] while a total of 6,591 dunams were classified as non-cultivable land.[17]
Following the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and the subsequent 1949 Armistice Agreements, Zibda came under Jordanian rule.
The Jordanian census of 1961 found 225 inhabitants.[18]
Since the 1967 Six-Day War, Zibda has been occupied by Israel.
The village has two tombs within it.[19]
Zibda was temporarily abandoned sometime after the 18th century due to war or blood feud between brothers, possibly during the Qays–Yaman war of 1840–1860.[8]
The village is dominated by the Amarnah family from Ya'bad.[8]
