Modern Amman was founded in 1878, when the Ottoman Empire settled a group of Cherkessian immigrants here. They formed the majority of the population until the mid-twentieth century. It was partly due to a large immigration of Palestinians, who fled to Jordan from 1948 because of the Arab-Israeli conflict, that the city experienced a great growth. Especially after 1967 there was a very strong immigration. The Black September armed conflict was fought in Amman.

The stock exchange of Amman is called the Amman Stock Exchange. Important means of transportation are the bus, the taxi, and the shared taxi. Amman is the main hub of the Jordanian transport system.
