History

The village was founded in 1927. Its initial residents are thought to have come from the villages of Haris al-Majdal and Kufritta,^[2] who returned to the area after their land was bought from the Lebanese Sursock family in 1925.^[3]

In the 1945 statistics Ras Ali was counted among Shefa-'Amr suburbs, and it was noted with a population of 80 Muslims.^[4][5][6][7]
