The Shilat Junction, at the intersection of Route 443 and Route 446, is the main northern entrance to Modi'in and the site of an industrial park which houses many commercial establishments as well as light industry.
The moshav was established in July 1977 by 25 families on land that had belonged the Palestinian village of Shilta, which was depopulated in 1948.[2] After the Six-Day War in 1967, Israel expropriated 781 dunams of land from the Palestinian village of Saffa for the construction of Shilat.[3]
