Balfouria, Agricultural moshav in Jezreel Valley, Israel.
Balfouria sits at an elevation of 93 meters above sea level, surrounded by agricultural fields near the city of Afula in northern Israel.
The settlement, founded in 1922, became the third established community in Palestine and received its name in recognition of The 1st Earl of Balfour.
The founders of this agricultural community constructed concrete houses with shingled roofs, leading other residents to refer to them as the millionaires.
The moshav connects to regional transportation through Afula Railway Station, located less than one kilometer from the settlement's center.
A nature reserve adjacent to Balfouria contains ancient springs and tells, preserving remnants of the original Jezreel Valley wetlands since 1979.
