Most of the buildings in the old core of Judeida date back to the 16th and 17th centuries.[5]
In 1838, Edward Robinson noted the village when he travelled in the region, as bordering the extremely fertile Marj Sanur.[7] He listed it as part of the District of Haritheh, north of Nablus.[8]
In 1870, French traveler Victor Guérin visited al-Judeida, describing it as being amid "gardens of fig trees, pomegranates and olives. It seems to be an ancient site, because of the many rock hewn cisterns and the well-shaped stones contained in the walls of its 35 houses."[5][9] In 1882, it was described by the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine as "a good-sized village on flat ground, with a few olives".[5][10]

In the 1945 statistics, the population was 830, all Muslims,[13] with 6,360 dunams of land, according to an official land and population survey.[14] Of the village's lands, 2,211 dunams were used for plantations and irrigable land, 2,850 dunams for cereals,[15] while 20 dunams were built-up (urban) areas.[16]

Following the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and the subsequent 1949 Armistice Agreements, Al-Judeida came under Jordanian rule.
