History
Kibbutz Nir-Eliyahu is located to the northeast of Kfar-Saba, on the Sharon red soil hills, watching the western slopes of Samaria. The Kibbutz belongs to the Southern Sharon regional council.
On 27th of July, 1950 the first settlers pitched their tents. A group from Turkey with youth immigrants from Romania and Poland, which received training in the Kibbutzim Kfar-Giladi, Ein-Harod, Gal-Ed and Ashdot-Yaakov gathered for founding the kibbutz. The cause of settling in this location was the need to strengthen the rural population in the area and to block the border facing the Arab town of Qalqilia. The kibbutz fields extended to the outskirts of Qalqilia , a fact that led to damage of equipment, buildings and crops.
At the Six Day War, the kibbutz was damaged by shelling from Jordanian posts in Qalqilia (6/6/1967). On 2002, followed by the attacks of the intifada and by the paving of Highway 6 (cross Israel Highway), a security system and a 8 meter height wall were established to protect the road
