Hajjah is originally an Aramaic word translated as "market" or "society". According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, the town had a population of approximately 2,500 inhabitants in mid-year 2006.

Ceramics from the Byzantine era have been found here.
In Samaritan text, the town was known to be inhabited by Samaritan High Priests.
Ottoman era
In 1870 Victor Guérin noted it from Fara'ata.
In 1882 the Palestine Exploration Fund's Survey of Western Palestine noted about Kuryet Hajja: "A good-sized village on high ground, supplied by wells. It has a rock-cut tomb on the west, and appears to be an ancient place."
British Mandate era
In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Qariyet Hajjeh had a population of 642 inhabitants, all Muslims, increasing in the 1931 census to 731 Muslims, with 206 houses.
In 1945 the population was 960 Muslims, with 13,119 dunams of land, according to an official land and population survey. Of this, 4 dunams were for citrus and bananas, 1,226 dunams were for plantations or irrigated land, 5,045 were for cereals, while 36 dunams were built-up land.
Jordanian era
In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, Hajjah came under Jordanian rule.
1967-present
After the Six-Day War in 1967, Hajjah has been under Israeli occupation
