Located in the northern part of the Sharon plain and covering 2,700 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hefer Valley Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 785.
The moshav was founded in 1946 by Jewish former Australian servicemen, and was named after the Jewish Australian general, Sir John Monash.[1] It is known among archaeologists as the finding place of the Kfar Monash Hoard.[2]
