Bat Shlomo (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />בָּת שְׁלֹמֹה, lit. Salomon's Daughter) is a moshav in northern Israel. Located on the southern slopes of Mount Carmel near Binyamina and Zikhron Ya'akov, it originally was built on 8,068 dunams of land.[2] It falls under the jurisdiction of Hof HaCarmel Regional Council and had a population of 568 in 2014.
History
The village was established in 1889 as a daughter-settlement of Zichron Ya'akov, funded by Baron Rothschild, and was named after Betty Salomon, the daughter of Salomon Mayer von Rothschild (the Baron's uncle and grandfather). By 1947 it had a population of 100.[2] In 1951 a moshav was established by Transylvanian and Yemenite immigrants adjacent to the original village.[3]
Economy
The moshav was a major grape supplier to the Carmel Winery until the 1970s, when it started producing loquats. In 2010 Bat Shlomo Vineyards, a boutique winery, was established.
