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.
