[1] The founders were Jewish immigrants from Czechoslovakia and Lithuania, who settled in Petah Tikva in 1932.

The following year they formed Kibbutz Czecho-Lita and moved to Bat Galim in Haifa.

Despite opposition from the Jewish Agency, who reasoned that the sandy soil could not support agriculture, Mishmar Zevulun was established on 29 November 1938 as the 29th tower and stockade settlement.
