Zububa (Arabic: زبوبا) is the northernmost Palestinian village in the West Bank, located 10 km Northwest of the city of Jenin in the northern West Bank. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, the town had an estimated population of 2322 inhabitants as of 2017 Palestine Census.
This place is marked under the name Sububa on the map of Marino Sanuto (1322 A.D.), and identified by him with Megiddo.
In 1838 it was noted as a Muslim village called Ezbuba in the Jenin administrative region.
In 1870, Victor Guérin noted it in the distance, as a small village on an oblong mound.
In 1870/1871 (1288 AH), an Ottoman census listed the village in the nahiya of Shafa al-Gharby.
In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine described Ezbuba: "A village of mud, of moderate size, with wells and cisterns. It stands near the foot of the hills, and is probably an ancient site, having a sarcophagus, and a wine-press to the south."
In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Zebuba had a population 391 Muslims, decreasing in the 1931 census to 344 Muslim, in a total of 83 houses.
In the 1945 statistics, the population was 560 Muslims, with 13,843 dunams of land, according to an official land and population survey. Of this, 209 dunams were used for plantations and irrigable land, 13,054 dunams were for cereals, while a total of 16 dunams were built-up, urban land.
Following the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and the subsequent 1949 Armistice Agreements, Zububa came under Jordanian rule.
The Jordanian census of 1961 found 683 inhabitants.
Since the 1967 Six-Day War, Zububa has been under Israeli rule. In early 1980s, the town came under the governance of the Israeli Civil Administration system.
With the Oslo Accords, the town came under the direct control of the Palestinian National Authority in 1994.
Confrontations broke out between Palestinian residents and Israeli forces during an IDF raid in Zububa.
Some residents of Zububa originated from Rammun and Ya'bad, but the majority have origins in Silat al-Harithiya.
