History

The moshav was founded in 1946 by

Jewish former Australian servicemen, and was named after the Jewish Australian general, Sir John Monash.[2] It is known among archaeologists as the finding place of the Kfar Monash Hoard.[3]

The Ruppin Academic Center, established in 1949, is located nearby.[4] At its founding, the village contained a sophisticated printing press and was engaged in producing maps and atlases. However, the economic crisis in the early 1950s led to its closure in 1953, and agriculture became the main livelihood of most residents.

Local agriculture and husbandry consists primarily of citrus orchards, but also includes growing flowers in greenhouses, and raising chickens and turkeys.
