Rishpon

Rishpon (Hebrew: רִשְׁפּוֹן) is a moshav in the Central District of Israel.

Located in the Sharon plain near Herzliya, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hof HaSharon Regional Council.

[1] The moshav was established in 1936.

Its original proposed name by the name committee, Rishpona (Hebrew: רשפונה), is an artificial reconstruction of the supposed ancient name of Arsuf, based on a misreading of an Assyrian inscription.

[2] The current name was chosen by its residents, and has similar elements.
