History
Amman 's history is ancient dating back to the Stone Age. It contains one of the largest Neolithic settlement in the Middle East , not to mention, early Bronze Age tombs.

During the Iron Age, Amman became the capital for Ammonites (a biblical nation) and was called back then Rabbet Ammon. Amman is also famous to be the site where King David of Israel killed Uriah the Hittite, along with the Ammonites civilization that was later on replaced by the Assyrians, Babylonians and Persians.

Amman was called many names during the timeline including: Philadelphia after the Ptolemaic ruler ruling at that time. Nabataeans left the greatest influence on modern Jordan with Petra and the rich history of the Rose City . Eventually, Romans took over, making Amman or Philadelphia at that time part of the Ten Free Cities Alliance or the "Decapolis League". The city flourished greatly in the Roman rule in all aspects: trade, art, and infrastructure. When Christianity became a pillar in the Roman Empire during the Byzantine era, churches and mosaics were built in the capital and many fortresses that were later on attacked by the Islamic armies. By the 7 th century, Islamic armies took over Philadelphia and renamed it to "Ammon" the Semitic version of the modern name " Amman "

With many waves of rulers, Amman 's popularity declined especially during the Ottoman rule where Salt became the political capital. It was only after the departure of the Ottoman rule that Amman began flourishing again with the help of the many crafty Circassians that came during the massive exodus. Roads, buildings, and trade routes were established again and the population was on the rise.

The true modern development of Amman occurred when the Emirate of Transjordan was established by King Abdullah I. He renamed the country to The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and named Amman its capital.

Modern Amman is now the focal point of development in Jordan . Under the patronage of King Abdullah II, Amman began flourishing as a modern capital, and the age is currently known as the "Golden Age" where arts, crafts, literature, and education are at their highest level.
