History

The village was established as a moshav in 1944 by a group of 30 immigrant families from Kurdistan, and was initially named Kedem after the organization which helped the founders make aliyah.[2]

After the Palestinian village of al-Rihaniyya was depopulated in the 1948 Palestine war, Ein HaEmek and Ramat HaShofet took over its lands.[3]

Ein HaEmek became the seventh community settlement in the Ramot Menashe region and joined the six Jewish communities established before it; Mishmar HaEmek (1926), Yokneam Moshava (1935), HaZorea (1936), Ein HaShofet (1937), Dalia (1939) and Ramat HaShofet (1941).[4]

For many years Ein HaEmek was an agricultural moshav, consisting of farms based on pasture, cereal crops and olive trees. Starting in the 1980s, the nature of the moshav began to change due to demographic growth and a trend towards non-agricultural professions.
