Nir Moshe

Nir Moshe spans across 2,000 dunams of land in the northwestern Negev region, positioned at an elevation of 145 meters above sea level.

Founded in 1953 by residents from Jerusalem, Haifa, and Herzliya, the settlement received its name from Moshe Smiliansky, an agronomist and author.

The moshav structure combines individual farm ownership with cooperative agricultural practices, fostering a balanced approach to community development and farming.

The settlement started under the name Shoval Mizrachi before adopting its current designation, which translates to Moshe's Meadow in Hebrew.
