Ottoman and British Mandate periods
In 1517 Musheirifa was incorporated into the
Modern Musheirifa was established in the 1860s by people from nearby
In the Palestine Exploration Fund's 1882 Survey of Western Palestine, Musheirifa was described as a "very small hamlet on high ground, with a well to the south".[9]
In the 1922 census conducted by the British Mandate authorities, the population of the village was 203, all of whom were Muslim,[10] increasing in the 1931 census to 233, still all Muslim, living in 45 houses.[11]

State of Israel
Musheirifa is one of the villages of Wadi Ara that lacked municipal status after the establishment of Israel.[19] It was under the administration of mukhtars (village headmen) who were appointed by the Interior Ministry[20] until 1992, when the Interior Ministry established the Nahal Iron regional council. The locals objected to the administrative arrangement, and sought independent municipal status for each village. To allay local concerns, the Interior Ministry established an investigative committee to examine other options, and in 1996, decided to split the regional council into two local councils: Ma'ale Iron, which includes Musheirifa, and Basma.[21]
