History

It was founded in 1948 by Jewish immigrants from eastern Europe, on the site of the depopulated Palestinian village of al-Maghar.[2] Initially named Arugot (Hebrew: ערוגות), it was later renamed Ekron HaHadasha (Hebrew: עקרון החדשה, lit. New Ekron), and finally Beit El'azari in memory of the agronomist Yitzhak Elazari Volcani, founder of modern agriculture in Israel.[3]
