South-West Jerusalem includes nowadays most of the area is used for residential purposes, and has both neighborhoods with dominant Jewish population and and neighborhoods with dominant Arab population, some of which also includes archeological sites and ancient buildings. Most of the construction in this area happened after 1948. Until 1967 the border between Israel and Jordan passed through the Arab village of Beit Safafa. The neighborhoods of Mekor Chaim and Bayit Vegan were established in the 1920s by Jewish settlers. The neighborhoods of Ein Kerem and Malha were Arab villages prior to the establishment of the state of Israel, and after 1948 have had a dominant Jewish population. The neighborhood of Gilo was built after the Six-Day War.
