Beit Harofeh-Menahemiah
Archaeology and History
The village was established on 26 December 1901 as a moshava under the name Milhamia by the five first families on land purchased by the Jewish Colonization Association in southern Jordan Valley, and was the first Jewish settlement of its time in that region.
It was renamed Menahemia in 1921 after the father of High Commissioner of Mandatory Palestine Herbert Samuel, 1st Viscount Samuel.
Before World War I, a regional pharmacy was established in Menahemia.
There also existed a museum for the medical history of the region, and the history of Menahemia and Naharayim.
