Nathanya Jubilee
Official Award Medal, 5739-1979
Nathanya was founded in 1929. The nucleus came from "Bnei Benyamin" members of settlements who desired to establish a new agricultural settlement of their own. Over the years the agricultural character of Nathanya began to change. Shops and industrial enterprises began to develop. The most notable among them, the diamond industry. Another industry which developed very rapidly was tourism because of its resort facilities. Nathanya also serves as the centre for citrus packing of the entire Sharon region. Nathanya was awarded municipal status during the year Israel became independent, 1948. In the course of time, other suburbs in the vicinity opted to become part of the city.
