Mazkeret Batya, Agricultural settlement in Central District, Israel
Located southeast of Rehovot, Mazkeret Batya extends across 7.4 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 62 meters above sea level.
Founded in 1883 by eleven Jewish families from Pavlova, Belarus, the settlement was initially named Ekron before changing to its current name in 1887.
The settlement received its name in honor of Betty Solomon de Rothschild, mother of Baron Edmond James de Rothschild, who purchased the land for Jewish agriculture.
The town sits 25 kilometers from Tel Aviv and maintains direct transportation links to major urban centers, including Jerusalem and Rehovot.
During Israel's War of Independence, the settlement served as a departure point for convoys to Jerusalem and contained a field hospital for fighters.
