An-Nazla ash-Sharqiya (Arabic: النزله الشرقيه) is a Palestinian village in the Tulkarm Governorate in the eastern West Bank, located 18 kilometers North-east of Tulkarm.

Ottoman Period

In 1870/1871 (1288 AH), an Ottoman census listed the village in the nahiya (sub-district) of al-Sha'rawiyya al-Sharqiyya.[3]

In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine described Nuzlet ash Sherkiyeh as "a small hamlet, with a well to the south, and a few olives. It stands on high ground, and has a palm tree near."[4]

British Mandate era

In the 1931 census of Palestine, conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Nazla ash Sharqiya had a population of 256 Muslims, in a total of 52 houses.[5]

In the 1945 statistics the population of Nazla esh Sharqiya was 300 Muslims,[6] with 4,840 dunams of land according to an official land and population survey.[7] Of this, 723 dunams were plantations and irrigable land, 268 were used for cereals,[8] while 5 dunams were built-up (urban) land.[9]

Jordanian era

In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, An-Nazla ash-Sharqiya came under Jordanian rule. It was annexed by Jordan in 1950.

In 1961, the population of Nazla Sharqiya was 507.[10]

Post 1967

Since the Six-Day War in 1967, An-Nazla ash-Sharqiya has been under Israeli occupation.

According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, an-Nazla ash-Sharqiya had a population of approximately 1,623 inhabitants in 2017. 5.4% of the population of an-Nazla ash-Sharqiya were refugees in 1997.[11] The healthcare facilities for an-Nazla ash-Sharqiya and the villagers of an-Nazla al Wusta are based in an-Nazla ash-Sharqiya, where the facilities are designated as MOH level 2.[12]
