==History==
Beit Jann is an ancient village site at the top of a hill. Old stones have been reused in village homes, and cisterns and tombs carved into rock have also been found.〔Dauphin, 1998, p. 657〕
In the Crusader era it was known as ''Beitegen''.〔Conder and Kitchener 1881, SWP I, p. (206 )〕 In 1249 John Aleman transferred land, including the Casales of Beit Jann, Sajur, Majd al-Krum and Nahf to the Teutonic Knights.〔Strehlke, 1869, pp. (78 )-79, No. 100; cited in Röhricht, 1893, RHH, p. ( 308 ), No. 1175; cited in Frankel, 1988, p. 254〕
According to local legend, Druze families in the area lived in scattered colonies in the hills near sources of water until the 13th or 14th century. Two hunters looking for hyraxes stumbled upon a cave where they found an ancient cistern filled with water. Concluding that this was a good place for permanent settlement, several families settled on the site of what would become Beit Jann.〔(Mountain People, Jerusalem Post )〕
