Historically the village of Talluza is linked to the village of Wadi al-Far'a as the Wadi al-Far'a land was previously owned by residents of Talluza, who used it as farmland. In the 1960s, residents from Talluza settled in Wadi al-Far'a and established a separate village. In 1996, Wadi al-Far'a was officially declared separate from Talluza and was granted its own village council under the Tubas Governorate.
