The city was first settled in the 20th century BC during the Bronze and Iron Ages and had multiple civilisations, of which at least 4 are confirmed through excavations done by the French in 1932. The ancient civilisations range from Assyria Empire, Neo-Babylonian Empire, Achaemenid Empire to other, older empires. In the 2004 census, the population was recorded at 50,469. During the Syrian Civil War, this number doubled due to the waves of refugees the city experienced.
