How the samaritans started?

Samaritans believe that God sanctified Mount Gerizim (outside modern Nablus) as the holy site for sacrifices. Jews say the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. This division may be a relic of the division between Judah and Israel before the Babylonian Exile, with the Samaritans being a remnant of the population of the northern kingdom of Israel that managed to hang onto their original homes through the invasions that destroyed that kingdom.

What is the difference in a Samaritan and a Samarian?

Samaritans are an offshoot sect of Judaism that live primarily in Samaria. It may be that Samaria is named after Samaritans, or visa versa, but even 2000 years ago, there were more non-Samaritans living in Samaria than there were Samaritans, and the word Samarian can be used for any resident of that land. Today, there are about 2000 Samaritans living in Israel and the West Bank, all within an easy trip from their sacred mountain, Mount Gezarim, which is near Nablus.
