History
The first transit camp (ma'abara) for new Jewish immigrants was set up in 1950 on the lands of the depopulated Palestinian village of Kasla. New immigrants from Yemen brought to Israel in Operation Magic Carpet were given farmland there, but abandoned the moshav a few years later to join members of the Yemenite community living in Rosh Ha'ayin. Their place was taken by Jewish immigrants from Morocco. The moshav was named for the biblical city of Ksalon (Chesalon) mentioned in, which was probably situated on the tel nearby and preserved in the Palestinian name of the place.
