==History==
The historical name ''Balqa was applied to the entire area of the eastern plateau of the Jordan valley as early as the 7th century when Heraclius’ brother Theodore fought an early campaign against the Arabs on the approaches to southern Syria.〔Howard-Johnston, James, ''Witnesses to a World Crisis: Historians and Histories of the Middle East in the Seventh Century'', Oxford University Press, 2010, p. 373〕 During World War I, the British army led by General Allenby entered Salt on 24th of March 1918, in the Battles for Amman campaign, marking the end of a 500-year Ottoman rule.
On March 21, 1968, the town of Karameh near Shouna al-Janubiyya was the site of Battle of Karameh, between Israel and Jordan, which was one of the largest military confrontations in the period between the Six-day War in 1967, and Yom-Kippur War in 1973.
