West Irbid Municipality

The history of Irbid dates back to the first Bronze Stone Age (about 2500 BC) and the ancient city was surrounded by a huge wall built of black basalt stones, and the city was found caves from the Roman era and an ancient Roman water pond Perhaps the lack of monuments and archaeological evidence of the inhabitants of Irbid during the period extending from the early Bronze Age and the Roman era is due to the destruction caused by a devastating earthquake that hit the region, which led to the drying up of water sources and the lack of water remained an obstacle to prosperity Life in the city even overcame the genius of the Roman engineer who brought water through canals into the ground from a place close to Ramtha.
Irbid, like any neighboring city in the region, was subject to successive governments on the Levant
, so it contemporaneous with the state of the Edomites and the Amawites, as it was subject to Greek rule after the conquests of Alexander in (333 BC) and the reconstruction of the Greek city helped to lay the foundations of the commercial alliance (Decopolis), which consisted of Oman ((Philadelphia)) and Jerash ((Geraza)) and Beisan and Irbid ((Arabella)) and Beit Ras ((Capitolias)) and Daraa ((Deri)) and Bosra and um Qais ((Jadara)) and others.
