History and Today
The first community settlement in Israel was Neve Monosson, in Gush Dan which was established in 1953. Many Israeli settlements in the West Bank are set up as community settlements; there are also many such communities in rural northern Israel.
Most community settlements in Israel are relatively small, with a few hundred or thousand residents. Some communities are even smaller, with fewer than 30 residents. Some communities cater to specific populations, such as the Haredi town of Betar Illit.
