Atarot, Agricultural settlement in Jerusalem outskirts, Palestine
Atarot developed specialized hill agriculture with terraced farming methods to grow crops on challenging terrain north of Jerusalem.
The settlement, established in 1914 by Second Aliyah pioneers, faced multiple disruptions during World War I before its reconstruction in 1922.
Many German Jewish immigrants joined the initial East European settlers during the 1930s, bringing their agricultural expertise to the community.
British authorities took substantial portions of Atarot's agricultural land to construct the Jerusalem airport, affecting the settlement's farming capabilities.
Former residents relocated and established a new community called Bnei Atarot near Lydda after the 1948 evacuation.
