History


Bnei Zion was established on 27 March 1947 by the Jewish Agency for Israel, and was initially called Gva'ot Ra'anana (גבעות רעננה, lit. Ra'anana Hills) before being renamed after Bnai Zion Foundation, the American organisation that helped found it.

Nature reserve


Just west of the moshav is a 100-dunam nature reserve, declared in 1968.[2] The reserve is a remnant of the natural state of the Sharon plain, rich in flora that grows well in iron-rich soil.[3]
