Kfar Netter (Hebrew: כְּפַר נֶטֶר, lit. Netter Village) is a moshav in central Israel. Located in the coastal plain near Netanya, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hof HaSharon Regional Council. In 2019 it had a population of 1,193.[1]

History[]

The region of Kfar Netter has been inhabited intermittently since the Middle Paleolithic age, with peak periods of settlement during the Byzantine (4th - 7th centuries CE) and Late Ottoman periods (19- early 20th centuries CE).[2]

The moshav was established on 26 June 1939 by graduates of Mikveh Israel agricultural school as part of the tower and stockade settlement programme. It was named after Charles Netter, who founded Mikveh Israel.
