History
By the beginning of the 20th century, residents from Qatanna settled Khirbat al-Buwayra, establishing it as a dependency – or satellite village – of their home village.

In the 1931 census El Buweiyiri had 101 Muslim inhabitants, in a total of 17 houses.

In the 1945 statistics, it had a population of 190 Muslims and 1,150 dunums of land. Of this, 31 dunums were irrigated or used for orchards, 316 dunums were used for cereals,  while 803 dunams were classified as non-cultivable areas.

The center of the village contained many wells and the village has a khirba with the foundation of a building with cisterns. Today the village area is used as a military training ground by the Israeli Army.
