History

The village was established in 1950 by immigrant members of Hashomer Hatzair. It was named after Operation Nachshon, which opened up the Jerusalem road during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. After the Six-Day War in 1967 around 80 Egyptian soldiers were buried in a mass grave in fields tended by kibbutz Nahshon. The field was later turned into a tourist attraction, called "Mini Israel". In July 2023 the kibbutz was the site of a “festival of democracy”, the destination for a protest march against proposed judicial reforms that started in Tel Aviv and ended in nearby Jerusalem.
