History
Kibbutz Ein Hamifratz was established in August 1938 by Polish immigrants as part of the tower and stockade settlement enterprise, during the 1936-1939 Arab revolt.[1]
According to the Jewish National Fund, upon its founding, Ein Hamifratz was immediately attacked by "Arab gangs".[1] The initial problems facing the settlers were the saltwater swamps and the shifting sands at the mouth of the Naaman river. The settler originally did mixed farming and fish breeding.[1] In 1947, the kibbutz had a population of 400.[1]
Until the capture of Acre, Ein Hamifratz was a frontline settlement. The settlers were involved in the liberation of the Galilee in November 1948.[1]
Economy
Major industries are Yamaton Ltd., a honeycomb paper factory operated jointly with Kibbutz Ga'aton,[2] and IMA, a corrugated cardboard manufacturing company.[3] Ein Hamifratz also operates a fish farm and a shopping mall.
