History

According to ARIJ, in 1978 Israel confiscated 618 dunams of land from the Palestinian site of Nabi Musa in order to construct Vered Yeriho.[3]

The community was founded in 1979 as a result of the dissociation of the secular nucleus from the religious nucleus in Mitzpe Yeriho, a nearby settlement to the west of Vered Yeriho. The moshav is located on a hill overlooking the Aqabat Jaber section of Jericho. From the scenic perimeter road of the moshav, one can see Jericho and the northern Dead Sea.^{[citation needed]}
