History

The lands of Pardesiya were purchased in 1928 by Yona Fisher, but remained unused. In 1937, the Yemenite "olim" organization asked its members to come to the land to build a village, promising cheap land. Twenty families came and in 1939 completed the construction. During World War II, the villagers found themselves unemployed and unable to pay taxes for their housing. The residents managed to settle the issue with the Jewish Agency for Israel and coninued living in the village. After the war, a new neighborhood was built, as well as a "ma'abara" to absorb new immigrants. Pardesiya gained local council status in 1952.
