[edit] History
The Jerusalem chronicler Mujir al-Din al-'Ulaymi wrote that al-Qubab was a village within the administrative jurisdiction of al-Ramla in 1483 C.E.[2]
At the time of the 1931 census, al-Qubab had 382 occupied houses and a population of 1502 Muslims.[3]
On September 13, 1948, al-Qubab was mostly destroyed, although the school (founded in 1921) and few houses remain standing.
As of 1945 it had a population of 1,980.
