[7] The nearest localities are Jaba' to the immediate east, Beit Imrin to the south, Burqa to the southwest, Silat ad-Dhahr to the immediate west, and Ajjah to the north.

[8] Aaron Demsky identified Fandaqumiya with Penṭāḳūmewatha (Hebrew: פאנטקומוותה), mentioned in the 6th-7th century Mosaic of Reḥob as being a Jewish village in a region of Sebaste which was inhabited mostly by non-Jews and, therefore, agricultural produce obtained from the area could be taken by Jews without the normal restrictions imposed during the Sabbatical years, or the need for tithing.

[6] In 1596 Fandaqumiyya appeared in the Ottoman tax registers as being in the nahiya of Jabal Sami, part of the Sanjak of Nablus.

[6] In 1830, during the military campaign against a revolt by the Jarrar family of Sanur, Emir Bashir Shihab's forces set fire to Fandaqumiya.

[6] In 1838, Edward Robinson passed by and noted it as a being a small village,[13] located in the esh-Sharawiyeh esh-Shurkiyeh (the Eastern) district, north of Nablus.

Despite many villagers being employed in the construction, relations with the British forces were at times rocky owing to tax disputes.

[citation needed] During the 1940s, the British administration funded modern water and agriculture development projects as well as an elementary school.
