Sanur is known as one of the 24 “Throne Villages” from the late Ottoman period that served as centers of control where political and economic elite installed themselves as semi-autonomous rulers. The imposing fortress of Sanur was built around 1700 by members of the Jarrar clan, a Palestinian sheikh’s family that served as rural landlords and tax-collectors on behalf of the Ottoman government in the area of Jenin.
