History

---

Nahalal's founders immigrated to Palestine from Eastern Europe in what is known as the second immigration and third immigration between the years 1904-1914 (end of the Ottoman rule). After working in farming communities for approximately 10 years, the founders wished to establish a communal farming community similar to a kibbutz, but keep their individual family structure (kibbutzim had communal dining and children slept in separate housing). The Nahalal pioneers first came to its location September 11, 1921.
