Kibbutz Nir David is located in the Beit She’an Valley in northern Israel. The kibbutz has a Village Inn – Lodging in Nir-David on the banks of the Asi river. There’s also “Gan Hashlosha” – A semi-natural water park, “Gan-Garoo” – Australian zoo, which features Australian marsupial wildlife such as kangaroos and koala and a Guest ranch – a relatively large horse ranch offering horseback training for children and adults, from basic riding to competitive, and occasionally hosts equestrian show jumping competitions.
Nir David was founded on the 10 December 1936, under the name of Tel Amal. It was established as the first tower and stockade settlement (and the first kibbutz) in the Beit She'an Valley.
In the 1940s, the kibbutz was renamed Nir David in honor of David Wolffsohn, second president of the World Zionist Organization. The communal dining room and two children's homes were designed by Zeev Rechter, architect of some of Israel's most iconic buildings. A group of Holocaust survivors joined the kibbutz in the 1940s.
Nir David uses land that traditionally belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of Al-Sakhina.
In the 1990s, Nir David developed a tourism industry based around the Asi river, which flows through it. Around 2010, the kibbutz fenced off the community and installed a locked steel gate at the entrance, after protest from people, who wanted access to the scenic Asi river. In 2021, the kibbutz claimed that 40% of its population was Mizrahi.
