Kibbutz Nahshonim was founded in 1949 by a group largely made up of Egyptian Jewish immigrants and refugees,[2] as well as a few native Israelis. They chose the name, well aware of its roots in the biblical pioneer Nahshon, who helped Moses during the Exodus from Egypt.
It is well known in Israel for its motor park and the "Nahshonit" entertainment park.
