Prehistory Settlement at Even Yehuda began in the
prehistoric period. A prehistoric site known as
Givʿat Roi was first identified by
Roy Marom, revealing
Epipalaeolithic flint artifacts. In 2024, a salvage excavation by the
Israel Antiquities Authority confirmed the site's significance, uncovering
lithic assemblages attributed to the
Kebaran (Early Epipaleolithic, ca. 22,000–18,500 BP) and Geometric Kebaran (Middle Epipaleolithic, ca. 18,500–15,000 BP) cultures. Over 600 flint artifacts—mainly
microliths,
bladelets,
cores, and
scrapers—were recovered, indicating seasonal occupation and on-site tool production. Some tool types also reflect influence from the
Nizzanan culture. Givʿat Roi is the only site in the
Poleg Basin showing evidence of both Epipaleolithic phases, contributing to the understanding of prehistoric settlement patterns along the central coastal plain.
Modern town Even Yehuda is composed of the union of the
moshava-type colonies of
Even Yehuda, '''Kfar Tsur/Be'er Ganim
, and Tel Tsur''' on 10,000
dunams the Hannuns sold in
Ghabat Kufr Sur. The moshava of
Even Yehuda was founded in December 1932 by the Bnei Benyamin society and the Notea corporation. The economy was based on
citrus growing. The village of
Kfar Tzur was founded in 1932 by workers of the
Dead Sea Works, who named it after the Arab village of
Ghabat Kafr Sur from which its lands had been purchased; it was renamed to '''Be'er Ganim'
the following year after a well named Bir el-Ghanem'' () which was located in the area. The village of
Tel Tzur was founded in 1932 by teachers of
Herzliya Hebrew Gymnasium led by
Haim Boger. In 1950, Even Yehuda became a
local council, as it was merged with the nearby villages of Be'er Ganim and Tel Tzur. In 2007, the
Walworth Barbour American International School in Israel (WBAIS) moved to a new campus in Even Yehuda. == Education ==
