In 1799, it was noted as an unnamed village on the map that Pierre Jacotin compiled that year.[6]
An Ottoman village list from about 1870 showed that Samwil had 23 houses and a population of 62, though the population count included men, only. It was noted as a Bedouin camp, 4,5 km north of Jaffa centre, and 1 km from the sea.[7][8]
In the 1922 census of Palestine, conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Mas'udiyeh had a population of 443; 437 Muslims and 6 Christians,[11] (where the Christians all belonged to the Templar community),[12] increasing in the 1931 census to 658; 654 Muslim and 4 Christians, in a total of 127 houses.[13]
On 20 December 1942, Al-Mas'udiyya was annexed into Tel Aviv as part of a municipal border expansion.[14]
In the 1945 statistics, the village had a population of 850; 830 Muslims and 20 Christians.[2][3]
Al-Mas'udiyya had an elementary school founded in 1931, and in 1945 it had 31 students.[5]
1948, aftermath
In 1992, the village site was described: "The area is part of Tel Aviv. All that remains of the village is one deserted house that belonged to Muhammad Baydas. Cactuses, castor-oil (ricinus) plants, and palm and cypress trees further mark the site. Nearby is the al-Mas'udiyya (or Summayl) bridge – an arched, steel structure."[5]
