In 1933 Salt became the first town in Jordan to open a school to all denominations of people.[2]{{dead link|date=February 2016}} In 1938, the area suffered an earthquake, causing the destruction of many homes and buildings. But the Municipality soon took the lead on reconstruction initiatives.[2]{{dead link|date=February 2016}} But population of Salt declined 30% between 1922 and 1938.[3] Expansions over time have caused the Municipality to reconsider its defined territory, and the list of cities and towns has come to include Al Salt, Rai, Um Juzah, Wadi al Hura, Bazbadiya, Yaraqa, Ibra, Alan, and Rmemeen,[2]{{dead link|date=February 2016}} many of which were already included, and many of which were new additions dated beck to 2001.[2]{{dead link|date=February 2016}}
