Pardesiya

[2] In 2022 it had a population of 7,421;[1] its jurisdiction is 1,273 dunams (~1.3 km2)[3] Before the 20th century, Pardesiya (from Arabic, Ghabet Fardisya) formed part of the Forest of Sharon, a hallmark of the region's historical landscape.

It was an open woodland dominated by Mount Tabor Oak (Quercus ithaburensis), which extended from Kfar Yona in the north to Ra'ananna in the south.

The intensification of settlement and agriculture in the coastal plain during the 19th century led to deforestation and subsequent environmental degradation known from Hebrew sources.

The residents managed to settle the issue with the Jewish Agency for Israel and continued living in the village.

[2] Pardesiya is located on the Sharon plain, bordering Kfar Yona on the east and Tzur Moshe of the Lev HaSharon Regional Council.
