Hod HaSharon

Hod HaSharon stretches across 19.2 square kilometers of land, positioned 10 kilometers east of the Mediterranean Sea at 45 meters above sea level.

The establishment of Hod HaSharon traces back to 1924 when Polish immigrants founded settlements, leading to the merger of four towns: Magdiel, Ramatayim, Hadar, and Ramat Hadar.

The name translates to 'Glorious Sharon' in Hebrew, marking its location in the Sharon plain region where ancient olive oil production and agricultural practices flourished.

The city connects to major industrial centers through two railway stations and maintains extensive municipal services for its 65,614 residents as recorded in 2022.

Archaeological excavations at Tel Qana within city limits revealed continuous habitation patterns from the Bronze Age through the Roman period, including a 1,300-year-old olive oil factory.
