Irbid

Town (pop., 1994: 208,329), northern Jordan. Built on Early Bronze Age settlements, it may have been the biblical city of Beth Arbel and the Arbila of the ancient Decapolis. Modern Irbid is one of Jordan's industrial areas and an agricultural centre. The many springs in the area, in addition to the Yarmuk River, provide water for irrigation. It is the home of Yarmuk University.
