The Crusades referred to the village by Alme.

The village had a pool and two water tanks, which provided it with its water needs.

Alma had several nearby khirbas and three inscribed architectural fragments from an

ancient synagogue were found on surface of the village.

According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, all that remains of the village:
The site is fenced-in and contains the rubble of former houses, covered with thorny

grasses. One truncated stonewall with a door and two windows still stands. The land is

planted with fruit trees by Israeli farmers.
