Anjara (Arabic: عنجرة) is an ancient town located at northern Jordan in the Ajloun Governorate.

The name of Anjara is composed of two words: Ain (spring well in Arabic) + Jara meaning running.

In biblical legend, Anjara has its assertions where Jesus and His Mother Mary passed through here and lived in a cave during their journey to the ten cities of Decapolis.

They paid a fixed tax-rate of 25% on various agricultural products, including wheat, barley, olive trees, goats and beehives, in addition to occasional revenues; a total of 10,000 akçe.

[3] In 1838 'Anjara's inhabitants were predominantly Sunni Muslims and Greek Christians.
