History
It was founded in 1948 by Holocaust survivors from Romania and was located on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Al-Manshiyya, north of the village site.[2] The site had previously been used for the Sydney Smith Barracks, where the Armistice of Saint Jean d'Acre, which ended the Syria-Lebanon campaign of World War II in 1941, was signed.[3] [4] The name is symbolic, taken after the orchards in the area.[3]
After the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, residents of the moshav of Beit Yosef joined them.
