History
Ceramics from the Persian,[3] late Roman,[3] Byzantine,[3][4] early Muslim and the Middle Ages have been found here.[3]
Ottoman era
At-Tayba was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1517 with all of Palestine, and by the 1596 tax register it was part of nahiya (subdistrict) of Sara under the liwa' (district) of Lajjun, with a population of 6 Muslim households. The villagers paid a fixed tax rate of 25% on agricultural products, including wheat, barley, summer crops, olive trees, beehives and/or goats, in addition to occasional revenues; a total of 3,500 akçe.[5]
In 1882 the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine found here "a modern ruined village with springs."[6]
Jordanian era
In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, At-Tayba came under Jordanian rule.
The Jordanian census of 1961 found 467 inhabitants in Taiyiba.[7]
Post-1967
Since the Six-Day War in 1967, At-Tayba has been under Israeli occupation.
