Eshkol Regional Council, Regional council in Beersheba Subdistrict, Israel
The Eshkol Regional Council is a local government area in southern Israel that administers multiple communities spread across a semi-arid region. The area consists of kibbutzim, moshavim, and other settlements connected by roads and local services.
The council was established in 1951 as an administrative structure for managing communities in the region. It took its name from biblical references linked to southern territory.
The council organizes regular local fairs where residents showcase regional products, crafts, and agricultural goods from various kibbutzim and moshavim.
The region is connected by local roads linking the scattered communities together. Visitors should know this is not a concentrated town center but rather a dispersed area covering several separate settlements.
Since 2000, the regional council has implemented specialized agricultural programs to maintain crop production despite recurring environmental challenges.
