Initiated as a citrus plantations farm (Havat Tel Mond)
which was established by Israel Land Plantations Company headed
by Alferd Mond, Lord of Melchet, a former British minister and
the president of the British Zionist Federation. Inside the farm
there was Skhunat HaPkidim (Clerks Neighborhood). In
1933 some of the farm workers purchased lands of the farm and
established Moshav Tel Mond. Another group established Moshav
Kefar Ziv in 1936 and new immigrants from Yemen established Skhunat
Ya'aqov (Ya'aqov Neighborhood) in 1943. New neighborhoods
were built for new immigrants in the early 1950' (Neve Oved and
Hadar Hayyim) and in 1954 all of those communities were united
into Local Council of Tel Mond.
