Nimrin was a Palestinian Arab town of 320 that was captured and depopulated by Israel during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.

Nimrin stood on the site of Kfar Nimra when Palestine was ruled by the Roman Empire.

[6] Nimrin was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in the early sixteenth century CE, and by the 1596 tax records the village was under the administration of the nahiya ("subdistrict") of Tiberias, part of Safad Sanjak.

[13] The main economic sectors were farming and livestock, with grain being the most important crop, followed by vegetables.

[15] During the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, Nimrin fell into Israeli hands on July 17, 1948, after nearby Lubya was captured at the end of Operation Dekel.
