Place Name
'Arab Suqrir (عرب صقرير)Place Description
A historic Palestinian community on the coastal plain northeast of Isdud, whose inhabitants were originally Muslim Bedouins who gradually settled and developed a farming community. Arab Suqrir could have derived from the Canaanite name of the site, "Shakrun". By the twentieth century, the community cultivated extensive areas of grain, citrus, bananas, and orchards, reflecting the transition from mobile to settled agricultural life.Also Known As
