History

The moshav was established on the lands of the Palestinian village of Abu al-Fadl, which was depopulated during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War;[1] the building that served as the headquarters of Hasan Salama is on the village's farmland.[2][3] It was named after Menashe Meirovitch, a member of Bilu and a politician, who was dubbed "last of the Bilus" as he was the last surviving Bilu member, living long enough to see the foundation of Israel.[4]

The first residents arrived in 1953, and mainly raised poultry, cattle and planted citrus and apricots.[5]

In 2006, some of the farmland of the moshav was transferred to Be'er Ya'akov to build a residential neighborhood.[6]
