History
Kiryat Haim, founded in 1933, was named after Haim Arlosoroff who was assassinated that year. Kibbutz Kfar Masaryk, formed in Petah Tikva in 1932 and originally known "Czecho-Lita," moved to Bat Galim in 1933 and then to the sand dunes of Kiryat Haim, west of the railway. The kibbutz raised vegetables and opened a dairy farm. At this point it adopted a new name - Mishmar Zevulun (Guardian of Zevulun Valley).
