History
In 1886, at the end of the Ottoman era, Abasan al-Saghira consisted of about ten huts, with old building stones. [2]
British Mandate Period
In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Abassan (presumably both Abasan al-Kabira and Abasan al-Saghira) had a population of 695; all Muslims, [3] increasing in the 1931 census (when they were clearly counted together) to 1144, still all Muslim, in 186 houses. [4]
In the 1945 statistics the two Abasans were still counted together, and had a population of 2,230, all Muslims, [5] with 16,084 dunams of land, according to an official land and population survey. [6] Of this, 92 dunams were for plantations and irrigable land, 15,616 used for cereals, [7] while 69 dunams were built-up land. [8]
