Ein Arik was an estate of the Jacobite Church by the mid-11th century and for much of the Crusader period (1099–1187), save for an interruption of several years when it in the possession of a Crusader lord. During the Mamluk period, Ein Arik likely had a majority-Christian population but its recognized headmen were Muslims and the villagers were mainly orchard and vineyard farmers, their output owned by a waqf (endowment) for the benefit of the Haram al-Sharif (Temple Mount) of Jerusalem. In the 16th century, at the start of Ottoman rule, the village had a mixed population of Muslims and Christians (Greek Orthodox and Catholics), which remained the case during travelers' surveys and Ottoman records throughout the 19th century, as well as during British Mandatory rule (1920–1948).
