Ein Hod: Prior to the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, Ein Hod was the site of an Arab village. Most of the Arab inhabitants were displaced as a result of the war but some remained in the area and settled nearby, forming a new village. Ein Hod became an artists' colony in 1953 - now most of the residents are artists and craftspeople. The artists sell their creations in individual and cooperative galleries here. Some of the older Arabic structures have been incorporated into newer structures.
