Atzmon

Atzmon was established (under the name of Segev) in 1953 on the land of the Palestinian village of Mi'ar, which had been depopulated in 1948. Atzmon/Segev was established east of the village site.{{cite book|title=All That Remains: The Palestinian Villages Occupied and Depopulated by Israel in 1948|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_By7AAAAIAAJ|first=W.|last=Khalidi|author-link=Walid Khalidi|year=1992|location=Washington D.C.|publisher=Institute for Palestine Studies|isbn=0-88728-224-5|page=26}}

After the establishment of Israel in 1948, the Jewish National Fund initiated the establishment of "working villages" to providing housing and employment for the large influx of new immigrants. Segev was founded in 1957 as one of these villages. In the early years of its existence, residents of Segev were employed in building roads and forestry work. They planted the Segev forest, which today covers both sides of Highway 805, from Yavor junction to the Misgav services center.{{Cite web |url=http://old.misgav.org.il/e/93/ |title=Segev forest |access-date=2013-03-10 |archive-date=2013-04-12 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130412224343/http://old.misgav.org.il/e/93/ |url-status=dead }}
