Ed-Dahi

In 1870–1871 an Ottoman census listed the village in the nahiya (sub-district) of Shafa al-Shamali.[4] In 1875 Victor Guérin found here a small village, consisting of fifteen "miserable" houses, surrounded by gardens and bordered by cactus hedges.[5]

In 1882 the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it as "a little hamlet of stone cabins, on the saddle west of the conical peak of Jebel ed Duhy. Straggling olives exist on the north and west. The water supply is from a well lower down the hill, on the north."[6]

In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British authorities, al-Dahi had a population of 84, all Muslims,[7] increasing slightly in the 1931 census to 87, still all Muslim, in a total of 16 houses.[8]

In the 1945 statistics the population was 110, all Muslims,[9] while the total land area was 8,038 dunams, according to an official land and population survey.[10] Of this, 19 dunams were for plantations and irrigable land, 2,979 for cereals,[11] while 10 dunams were classified as built-up areas.[12]

In February 2016 Bustan al-Marj Regional Council announced that its offices would move from Afula to Ed-Dahi. Council chairman Ahmed Zoabi noted "The offices are now located in one of the four villages of the council and this is important". In September 2017, the regional council completed its road-paving project.
