Kfar Shmaryahu (Hebrew: כְּפַר שְׁמַרְיָהוּ, Arabic: كفار شمرياهو) is a local council in Israel, within the Tel Aviv District.
History
Kfar Shmaryahu was founded in May 1937, during the Fifth Aliyah.[2] The founding members were German-Jewish immigrants, who named the village after Shmaryahu Levin (1867–1935), a Russian-born Jewish Zionist leader. The village was founded as an agricultural community, with forty farms, thirty auxiliary farms, and twenty lots for housing projects. A well was drilled, and a synagogue that became the center of community life was also built. In late 1938, 60 families were living there, and the predominant language was German. Throughout the following years the town absorbed new immigrants. In 1950 it was declared a local council and was granted additional land.[3]
