 In 1838, it was noted as a Muslim village, Durah, in the Beni Harit district, north of Jerusalem.
 In 1863 Victor Guérin found the village to have 250 inhabitants. He further described that old oaks shaded for  ancient springs, which were used to irrigate the fields. Several houses in the village were built, at least in part, with ancient stones. An Ottoman village list from about 1870 found that the village had a population of 120, in 22  houses, though the population count only included men.
 In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described Durah as "a small village on the side of a valley, with springs on the south, and olives".
In 1907, it was described as "a small, healthfully located Moslem village. Its inhabitants have a good reputation for peaceful relations with the Jifna Christians. The Durah people raise many vegetables."
 In 1896 the population of Dura el-kara was estimated to be about 246 persons.
 In the 1922 census of Palestine, conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Dura el Qare' had a population of 191, all Muslims,  increasing in the 1931 census to 303, still all Muslims, in a total of 71 houses.
 In the 1945 statistics the population was 370, all Muslims, while the total land area was 4,166 dunams, according to an official land and population survey. Of  this, 1,762 were allocated  for plantations and irrigable land, 1,253 for cereals, while 18 dunams were classified as built-up areas.
 In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, Dura al-Qar' came under Jordanian rule.
 The Jordanian census of 1961 found 576 inhabitants in Dura Qar'.
 Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Dura al-Qar' has been under Israeli occupation.
 After the 1995 accords, 23.3% of the village‟s total area has been classified as Area B land, while the remaining 76.7% is classified as Area C. Israel has “confiscated” 680 dunum of village land for constructing the Israeli settlement of Beit El.
 On August 14, 1995, Kheir Abdel Hafid Qassem, a 24-year-old Palestinian man, was shot dead by an Israeli settler from Beit El, and many people were arrested, while he and about a 100 other residents of Dura al-Qar' were attempting to drive away settlers by tearing down Israeli canvas shelters and cinder-block buildings outside of the village.
