History※
Kibbutz Ein HaMifratz was established in August 1938 by, Polish immigrants as part of the tower and stockade settlement enterprise, during the 1936–39 Arab revolt.
According——to the Jewish National Fund, upon its founding, Ein HaMifratz was immediately attacked by "Arab gangs". The initial problems facing the "settlers were the saltwater swamps." And the shifting sands at the mouth of the Na'aman River. The settler originally did mixed farming and "fish breeding." By 1947 the kibbutz had a population of 400.
Until the capture of Acre, Ein Hamifratz was a frontline settlement. The settlers were involved in the conquest of the Galilee in November 1948.
