The town became a local council in 1968. In 2003, there were 16,400 residents, 83.5% of whom were Muslim and 16.5% Christian The town is identified by Christians as a likely candidate for the town of Cana, where Jesus performed a miracle at the Marriage at Cana. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia of 1914, a tradition dating back to the 8th century identifies Cana with this town.

The town also contains the tomb of the Jewish sage, Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel (lived circa 10 BC to 70 AD), the Nasi (prince) of the Sanhedrin (legislative body of Ancient Israel), who assumed leadership of the Sanhedrin in 50 AD.

The town's Christian and Jewish sites are recognized by the Israeli National Authority of Religious Services.
