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

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."
