History
The first transit camp (ma'abara) for new immigrants was set up on the lands of what became Ksalon in 1950.[2] New immigrants from Yemen brought to Israel in Operation Magic Carpet were given farmland there, but abandoned the moshav a few years later to join members of the Yemenite community living in Rosh Ha'ayin. Their place was taken by immigrants from Morocco.[3]
The moshav was named for the biblical city of Ksalon mentioned in Joshua 15:10,[4][5][6] and is located on land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of Kasla.[7]
